Sliced Almond Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup sliced almonds
chocolate bits; for topping
1 egg whites
1/3 cup sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 300. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Stir together the egg white and sugar (I don't even use a mixer) and then stir in the almonds. Drop by teaspoon (they shouldn't be more than 2 inches in diameter) and top with a chocolate chip. Bake about 20 minutes until lightly browned.

When you remove from the oven mash down the chocolate bit (it makes it look like a dab of icing) and let it cool before removing from sheet.

I use the same ingredients in the food processor and make balls out of the dough just over an inch in diameter. I flatten them slightly by pushing down drained maraschino cherry on top. I usually do double the recipe. I make
these all year because they're so simple to make, everybody loves them and they are good for pesach.
