ingredients

1 ³⁄₄ cups sliced almonds, toasted
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 large egg whites, room temperature
¹⁄₂ teaspoon almond extract

directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Process almonds and confectioners' sugar in a food processor until ground to a fine powder.
Transfer to a bowl.
Put egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
Fold egg whites into almond mixture; fold in almond extract.
Transfer mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2 inch plain round tip.
Pipe 20, 2 inch rings onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing about 1 inch apart.
Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden brown and firm to the touch, about 25 minutes.
Transfer cookies on parchment to wire racks; let cool completely.
Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days.
