-Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a baking sheet. (Make sure the baking sheet is the right size to fit into the oven.)

-Bake for about 12 minutes or until the cookies are firm to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool before serving.

ALMOND CINNAMON COOKIE BALLS

Makes 15

1 ½ Cups	Ground almonds
1/3 Cup	Granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon	Ground Cinnamon
2	Egg Whites
Oil	For greasing

Confectioners’ Sugar or Powder Sugar for coating

-Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a baking sheet. (Make sure the baking sheet is the right size to fit into the oven.)

-Mix together the ground almonds, sugar and cinnamon. Beat the egg whites until they begin to stiffen and fold enough into the almond mixture to make a fairly firm dough. Wet hands with cold water and roll small spoonfuls of the dough into round balls. Place onto baking sheet.

-Bake for 15 minutes making sure that they remain soft on the inside. Too much baking time will result in hard and tough cookies. Remove the cookie balls from the baking sheet and set aside to cool.

-Sift the confections’ sugar or powder sugar onto a plate. Roll the cookie balls into the sugar, shaking off any excess.

(You may need to repeat the baking process for the remaining dough.)

Pinch	Salt
1 Teaspoon	Baking powder
½ Teaspoon	Baking soda

-Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a baking sheet. Sift the dry ingredients first into a bowl. Rub the butter or margarine in until the dough becomes crumbly.

-Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring with a fork until the mixture forms a soft dough. Roll dough out to about ½ inch thick. Stamp out 2 inch cookies with a cookie cutter. Place onto baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Serve warm or at room temperature.

(You may need to repeat the baking process for the remaining dough.)
