Almond Citrus Cookie (Gluten Free)

• 2 egg whites
• 3/4 cup confectioners sugar
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1 teaspoon lemon extract
• 2 3/4 cups sliced almonds

1. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Spray the paper lightly with oil. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
2. Mix the egg whites, flavorings and sugar in a bowl
3. Add the almonds and mix. Make sure to coat the nuts entirely with the egg mixture - this is what ensures that the cookie holds together
4. Drop by the heaping tablespoonful onto the lined baking sheet. Flatten so that there is almost a single layer of nuts
5. Bake for 12-14 minutes, the cookies must be browned a bit on the bottom or they will not cool/crisp properly
6. Slide the baked cookies onto a cooling rack. They are fragile, be careful! Cool completely. They can be stored in a covered container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
