Ingredients
- 215 gms almonds blanched
- 50 gms - 1 3/4 oz a little more than 1 egg whites
- 140 gms granulated sugar
- 3 gms ammonium bicarbonate powder
- 125 gms powdered sugar
- 1 tsp bitter almond extract
Notes
- I like to use ammonia bicarbonate for these cookies as it makes them lighter and crispier, but if you cannot find it, you can substitute it with baking powder. If using ammonia bicarbonate, do not add more than required or you may taste it in the baked cookies.
