I'm not a huge fan of almond extract, so I substituted vanilla extract instead. The cookies were still delicious.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. They're also a great make-ahead cookie. You can freeze the dough for up to 3 months.

The cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
