Steps:
- Set the oven racks to the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line (2) baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine the almond flour, sugar, orange zest and salt in a large bowl until combined. Stir in the beaten egg whites until the dough is wet and paste-like.
- Using a 1 1/2" cookie scoop, scoop the dough into tablespoon size balls and roll in the sliced almonds (this is easier to do if you break up some of the almonds into small pieces with your fingers). Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets and flatten them a bit as they won't spread.
- Bake both trays in the upper and lower thirds of the oven, rotating the pans from top to bottom halfway through baking, for 13-15 minutes or until lightly golden brown and set.
- Remove from heat and cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on wire racks. Serve and enjoy!

GREEK ALMOND MACAROON COOKIES (AMYGDALOTA)
Soooo yummy! I grew up eating these and could never get enough, they were so good. The outside is crunchy and the inside is chewy. Absolutely delicious! These are sold in every pastry shop in Greece. This recipe comes from the cookbook "My Big Fat Greek Feast". I have not tried the recipe yet, but I'm putting here for safe keeping since this is my most favorite cookie. Not sure of the yield, so I'm guessing.

Steps:
- Cut almond paste into 1/2 inch pieces.
- In an electric mixer with a paddle, mix the almond paste for a few minutes and then slowly add the confectioner sugar.
- With the mixer still on add the rose water, continuing to mix until you have a thick dough. Then slowly add the egg whites one at a time until mixture is loose enough to pipe out a pastry bag but not soupy (the consistency of a brownie batter). Depending on the humidity, you will need more or less egg whites.
- Put mixture into pastry bag and pipe onto a non stick cookie sheet, making small cookies.
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
