Ingredients

  • 125 grams whole raw almonds or walnuts, pecans, cashews, raisins, or crazins
  • 75 grams unbleached all-purpose flour plus flour for dusting
  • 250 grams sugar
  • 5 grams baking powder
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt
  • 2 large egg whites

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly toast the almonds on a sheet pan for 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside and let cool completely.
  2. Turn the oven down to 300°F and line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
  3. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Stir in the cooled almonds. Add the egg whites and stir until the dough comes together, about 1 minute. The dough will be quite soft.
  4. Generously flour a piece of parchment to work on. Divide the dough in half and place one piece on the floured parchment. Dust the dough with flour and use floured hands to roll the dough into a rope about 1 inch thick and 10 inches long.
  5. Slice through the rope at 1-inch intervals. You will need to keep patting the dough back into the 1-inch rope as you go. Place the cookies 3 inches apart on a parchment-lined pan.
  6. Bake the cookies for 30 to 35 minutes or until they are just slightly browned on the top. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan and store in an airtight container for up to a month.
