Serving Size: 28
Preparation Time: 0:15
1 cup blanched almonds
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon rose water (optional)
3 egg whites
Vegetable cooking spray
Place almonds in food processor, and process until finely ground. Add sugar and flour; process
until blended. Add rose water and egg whites; process until well-blended (the mixture
will be very thick). With floured hands, shape the dough into 28 balls, and place 2 inches
apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 325 degrees for 28 minutes or until crisp on the outside and soft on the inside; cool
on racks. Yield: 28 cookies (serving size: 1 cookie).
Notes: The original version of these cookies called for 2 cups of almonds. We replaced 1
cup with flour for a healthier, but still delicious, alternative.
