Ingredients

  • 140 g sliced or slivered almonds
  • 140 g dried cranberries
  • 2 egg whites
  • 170 g icing sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 orange zest only

Instructions

  • Mix everything in a bowl until homogeneous. You don't need to beat the egg whites, just mix them in (it's a question I get often).
  • Place a silpat or baking paper on a baking tray. If you're using baking paper it's best to rub a bit of vegetable oil on top of it just to make sure the cookies won't stick.
  • Put a 10cm diameter cookie cutter over the baking paper or silpat and pout a tablespoon of mix inside.
  • Press the mix down using the back of a spoon to flatten it as much as possible, leaving no empty spots. Then lift the cookie cuter and repeat the process with the next cookies until the tray is full.
  • Take to a preheated oven at 140C for 25-30min or until really golden.
  • Let cool completely before removing them from the tray as they are really soft while hot.
