Norwegian Crown Cookies

These are my absolute favorite cookies, and this is my first time making them. Not only are they healthy, but they're delicious, and nutty. Norwegian Crown Cookies can also be made into a cake, sometimes called a Viking Wedding or Ring cake. I'll probably be making the cake for my grandmother's birthday in a few months...

Bake Time: 10-15 minutes
 
Ingredients:
2 cups almond meal
2 egg whites
¾ cup powdered confectioner’s sugar
½ tsp. baking powder

1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

2. Whip the egg whites until they peak. Fold in the sugar and baking powder – stirring until consistent.

3. Stir in the almond meal, little by little – by hand, in a food processor, or with an electric mixer.

4. (this part is the tricky part) shape half a handful of the dough into a roll, or a little ball. It might get sticky… Place each cookie on the papered baking sheet, about an inch apart. Bake for 10-15 minutes.

Drizzle with honey if you want. Store in an airtight container.

Eat as many as you want. They're fatty, but they're good for you.
