Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 3/4 cups sliced almonds (about 7 ounces)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the almonds in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, and toast in the oven until lightly browned and fragrant, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from the oven; let cool.
  • Combine the almonds and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, and grind to a fine powder. Transfer to a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the almond mixture; fold in the almond extract.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the almond mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip. Pipe 20 2-inch rings onto the prepared sheet, about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden brown and firm to the touch, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, and immediately transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
