3 tsp ground cinnamon
¾ cup flour
2 egg whites
vanilla icing
1 2/3 cups icing sugar
1 egg white lightly beaten
½ tsp vanilla essence
Method :
– Preheat oven to 150 degrees. Lay biscuit tray with baking paper.
– Place almonds, sugar, cinnamon and flour in food processor. Using pulse action, press button until mixture is fine and crumbly. Add egg whites; process until a soft dough forms.
– Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead for a minute; shape into a ball. Roll dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to 5mm thickness. Cut into shapes and place onto prepared tray. Bake 20 minutes or until golden.
