Ingredients

  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 ¾ cups sifted powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 2 1/3 cups almond meal
  • 2 tablespoons oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray 2 cookie sheets with non stick spray.
  • Combine the egg, egg yolk, powdered sugar and baking powder. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

  • Let cool for 10 minutes before eating.

Notes

If using freshly ground almonds, they will release their own oils, making the oil unnecessary.
