1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¾ cup Fimly packed light brown
Sugar
2 larges Egg whites
⅛ teaspoon Salt
¾ teaspoon Vanilla
2 teaspoons Potato starch
2 teaspoons Matzo meal (not cake meal)
¾ cup Coarsely chopped slivered
Almonds (about 3-1/2 oz)

Directions

Preheat oven to 300. Line 2 double-layer cushion-type baking sheets with parchment paper. (You can make your own double layer sheets by stacking staking sheets on top of one another.) Force brown sugar through a coarse sieve into a small bowl.

In a bowl with an electric mixer beat whites with salt and vanilla on high speed until they just hold soft peaks. Gradually add sugar and beat meringue until it holds stiff peaks, 3-5 minutes.A stiff meringue will spread less during baking.) Sprinkle potato starch, matzo meal, and almonds on meringue and beat on low speed 3 seconds, or until combined well (or fold hin with a spatula).

Drop meringue by heaping teaspoons to form 2": mounds about 1-½" apart on prepared baking sheets and bake in middle of oven 15 minutes (do not over-bake). Turn off oven and let cookies stand 15 minutes.

Remove parchment from baking sheets and cool cookies on it 5 minutes.

m(Cookies will continue to firm up as they mcool.) Peel off parchment carefully and transfer cookies to a rack to cool completely. Cookies will be crisp on top and slightly chewy inside.

Cookies may be made 2 days ahead and kept in an airtight container (tops will soften slightly) or frozen 2 weeks.
