Tips:

  • Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them whip up more easily and give your cookies a lighter texture.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites. Otherwise, they will become dry and stiff, and your cookies will be tough.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites gently. Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and make your cookies dense.
  • Bake the cookies at a low temperature for a longer period of time. This will help them to rise slowly and evenly, preventing them from cracking.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before you eat them. This will help them to set and firm up.
