Yield Makes about 42 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 oz pecans (1 1/2 cups)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup potato starch
1/4 teaspoon salt
Scant 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3 large egg whites, lightly beaten
Special Equipment
parchment paper

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Coarsely chop 1 cup pecans and set aside. Pulse remaining 1/2 cup pecans in a food processor with sugar, potato starch, salt, and cinnamon until finely ground (be careful not to pulse to a paste), then stir into egg whites. Stir in remaining cup chopped pecans.
  • Drop 1/2 tablespoons of batter 2 inches apart on baking sheet and bake until cookies are lightly browned and slightly puffed, 15 to 17 minutes. Slide parchment onto a rack and cool cookies completely (cookies will crisp as they cool), then remove from paper. Bake and cool 2 more parchment-lined sheets of cookies in same manner.

These cookies were a bit dry for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would add a little more butter or oil next time I make them.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time I make them.
