These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. They're also a great make-ahead cookie. You can make the dough ahead of time and then bake them when you're ready to serve.

I've made these cookies several times now and they always turn out great. They're a little crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, just the way I like them.

These cookies were a hit with my family! They were so easy to make and turned out perfectly. I used sliced almonds instead of chopped almonds and they were still delicious.
