Light meringue cookies made with almond meal are fancy French macarons, which can be filled with buttercream, ganache, or jam.

Egg whites should be taken out of the fridge and left to come to room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.

In a bowl, combine almond flour and confectioners’ sugar.

Egg whites with salt should be beaten with an electric mixer on medium speed for about a minute, or until foamy.
