Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 4 egg whites
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1.5 cups almond flour, or more as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and baked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully remove from baking sheets and cool on wire racks.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 3

Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time, while continuing to beat at high speed. Combine almond flour and cinnamon in a bowl and fold into egg white mixture with a spatula. Add more ground almonds if mixture is too runny.

Step 4

Use two teaspoons to place little mounds of almond mixture 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
