Almond cookies - Kosher for Passover and Everyday

I had these in Israel a few years ago and I just tried them the other day. I have just about a few ideas what to do with these perfect little cookies.

You will need:

pre-heat oven to 325 degrees

3 cups sliced raw almonds (not slivers) (i have used toasted almonds too just cook them less so they don't burn)

2 egg whites

3/4 cup powdered (confectioners) sugar

1tsp of vanilla or almond flavoring

Parchment paper

Sheet pan

Mix the 2 egg whites, sugar and vanilla together in a bowl

Dump in the almonds

Stir until all the nuts are coated

drop mounds on parchment paper

flatten slightly

bake 15-20 minutes until lightly golden

let cool, peel from parchment

Keep in tight container for a week or freeze...yummy right from the freezer

Ideas: Dip some in chocolate, Make some of the instant chocolate mousse (in a post) and spread some in-between two cookies and freeze.

Use some orange zest and juice in mixture and then dip in white chocolate or dark chocolate.

Use instead of granola in yogurt...

Serve with fruit, tea...

I have also used Agave instead of confectioners sugar. I would use 1/3 cup of agave it spreads and it is better frozen like a chewy caramel around the nuts.

This recipe works well cut in 1/2 as well!!

Enjoy!!!
