Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole natural almonds
  • ½ recipe Master Dough*
  • 1 ½ teaspoons freshly grated lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • ¾ cup confectioners' sugar
  • 3 large egg whites lightly beaten with ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350º. In a food processor, process the almonds until finely ground. (I used almond meal.)

  • Chill the dough, if necessary, until firm enough to roll.
