• 1 tsp almond essence

• TM Icing sugar, to coat biscuits (made from white sugar)
• Glazed cherries or whole almonds


Preparation:


Add egg whites and the cream of tartar to bowl and beat until stiff with the butterfly, for me it took 8 min on speed 3 ½ will (try speed 3 next time )
add all ingredients except icing sugar and cherries together in a bowl
add egg whites to other ingredients mix with your hands until all combined . rest for 1/2 an hour, not you the dough lol


Preheat oven to 180C. Make small balls of about 3cm by rolling them between your palms, and then lightly roll them in the TM icing sugar.
Place on trays lined with baking paper.
Gently press cherries or almonds into the top of the biscuits.
Cook until biscuits become lightly browned on top - about 10 minutes.
