These German almond cookies are dairy free and gluten free and are baked during Advent in preparation for Christmas. They are quick and easy to make with only 4 ingredients and taste delicious. Try one to make sure it is baked all the way through, as it can be hard to tell. In Germany they are baked on backoblaten, little round wafers (there are gluten-free ones), but you can bake them directly on parchment paper as well. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

I'm not a big fan of meringues, but these almond meringues were actually pretty good. I might make them again sometime.

I tried making these almond meringues with a different recipe and they were a disaster. This recipe is the only one I'll use from now on.

I've made this almond meringue recipe several times now and it never disappoints. It's a great way to use up egg whites and the meringues are always light and airy.

The almond meringues didn't turn out as I expected. The texture was a bit off and they didn't have much flavor. Might try a different recipe next time.

Followed the recipe exactly and the almond meringues came out perfectly. Texture was great, not too chewy and not too hard. Will be making these again soon.
