  4. Preheat your oven to 325 °F.
  5. Roll about 2 teaspoons of dough into a ball, then dip into the lightly beaten egg whites then roll in the walnuts, then place onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat until the dough is all used.
  6. When the cookies are all on the parchment lined cookie sheet, press a well in the center of each ball prior to baking using your thumb, of course!
