Almond Cakes

Ingredients and Instructions

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.
