Cinnamon Balls

Ingredients:

1 1/2 Cups Ground Almonds
1/2 Cup Superfine Sugar
1 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon
2 Egg Whites

1/2 Cup Confectioner's Sugar

Large Baking Sheet
Oil (to grease the Baking Sheet)

Preheat Oven to: 350 Degrees

Instructions:

Mix the almonds, sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.

Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until they begin to stiffen.
Fold whisked eggs into the dry mixture until the combination is fairly firm.

Use your hands to roll the mixture into small balls and place these onto a greased baking sheet.

Bake for about 15 minutes at 350°F.

Remove from oven and use a metal spatula to separate the balls from the baking sheet before they cool too much.

Once the cinnamon balls are completely cooled, sift some confectioner's sugar onto a plate. Gently roll each ball on the plate until it is completely coated in sugar. Add more sugar to the plate as necessary.
