Ingredients: 1 cup almond flour. 2/3 cup powdered sugar. 2 large egg whites. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Food coloring optional. Flavoring extract e.g., vanilla, almond, or raspberry.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 300F 150C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a food processor, combine almond flour and powdered sugar. Pulse until well mixed.
