Ingredients:





     8 c  Finely chopped blanched


          -almonds


     3 c  Sugar


     6    Egg whites


     4 tb Almond extract






 (*) To blanch almonds, dip almonds into boiling water for 1 minute. Remove


 the brown skin covering. Dry in a 200?F oven for 30-45 minutes, stirring


 occasionally. Use a food processor to chop them to the finest size


 possible. (A 2-pound bag of almonds is what you'll need for this recipe).


 


 Preheat oven to 300?F. Combine all of the ingredients thoroughly. Form into


 desired shapes and sizes (we usually form them into crescents) and bake on


 greased and floured cookie sheets. Bake for 20-30 minutes depending on


 thickness of cookie. (In my oven, it takes about 24 minutes).


 


 NOTES : This recipe is a double recipe.  These are one of my favorite


 cookies--I just LOVE almonds!
