I love almonds, so I was really excited to make these wonderful cookies. My recipe is really easy, and my family and friends eat them up like there's no tomorrow - you will too.

Ilove this recipe,but the original recipe you beat the egg whites and fold in slowly then drop by tsps on cookie sheet and dust with powdered sugar and leave them set for 2 hours before baking.it doesn't call for granulated sugar in recipe it calls for 10x sugar.I will try this one it seems much quicker. Thank You!
