- 1 lb. powdered sugar sifted
- 7 egg whites beaten dry
- 2 tbsp. rose water
- 1 lb. almonds blanched
Put the almonds in the refrigerator three hours before using. This prevents oiliness. Roll them on a biscuit board or marble slab until they are finely powdered. Add the rose water gradually to the almonds blending the mixture well. Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites. When all the sugar is added mix in the almonds. Drop into small cookies. Bake at 250° F. for thirty minutes.
