Preparation
Step 1
1.preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.in a large bowl, combine the almond flour, sugar, orange zest, and egg whites until the mixture comes together into a moist (but not really sticky) dough.
3.place the chopped almonds on a plate. take tablespoon-sized balls of the dough and roll them into sort of football-like shapes. then roll them in the chopped almonds, pressing gently so that the almonds stick.
4.bend the "footballs" into crescent shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet. bake them in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until they just start to turn a bit golden. let the cookies cool for at least a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
