Ingredients

  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1⁄8 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1⁄2 cup finely ground almonds

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 250° F (120° C).
  • Beat egg whites, sugar, salt and lemon juice in a medium bowl on low speed until foamy. Increase speed to high and beat until stiff peaks appear.
  • Beat in almond and vanilla extracts. Fold in almonds.
  • Drop meringue by heaping teaspoonful onto Sheet Pan lined with Sheet Pan Liner.
  • Because oven temperature is so low, you can bake two trays at a time. Bake for 18 minutes, reverse trays and bake an additional 18 minutes. Turn oven off and let cookies dry in oven for 30 minutes.
