4 large egg whites
1 cup sugar
1 pinch of salt
1⁄8 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
1⁄2 cup finely ground almonds
Instructions
Preheat oven to 250° F (120° C).

Beat in almond and vanilla extracts. Fold in almonds.
Drop meringue by heaping teaspoonful onto Sheet Pan lined with Sheet Pan Liner.
Because oven temperature is so low, you can bake two trays at a time. Bake for 18 minutes, reverse trays and bake an additional 18 minutes. Turn oven off and let cookies dry in oven for 30 minutes.
