2 egg whites
1/2 cup flour (sifted)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
Set oven to 400F degrees.
1) Place egg whites in a bowl and beat with electric mixer on medium speed until very frothy, almost soft peaks.
2) Add sifted flour,
3) Add sugar, almond, and vanilla then mix.
4) Stir in 2 tablespoons of water to thin batter.
5) Using a Silpat baking mat, parchment paper or un-greased baking pan place 1 tablespoon of batter on pan.
6) Working from the center in a circular motion, spread the batter into a 5 inch circle.
7) Start with two cookies. Once comfortable with the process more can be baked at one time.
8) Bake until edges are lightly browned. Mine baked for 6 minutes. Start watching closely at 4 minutes.
9) Working quickly, remove cookie from pan with a very thin spatula.
10) Flip the cookie over and place slip of paper on top.
11) Bring sides up and pinch together.
12) Next bend cookie over the edge of a cup. The whole process of forming the cookie should take about 10 seconds. Once formed place cookies in a muffin tin to help them keep their shape while cooling.
