Here is another one:

 

PISTACHIO COOKIES

 

These have no flour and are relatively low fat. The only fat comes from the

pistachios in any case. The original recipe was for Syrian seder cookies (which

would not allow flour) and I added the citrus and cardamom flavors.

 

1 1/2 cups pistachio - grind or pulverize in a grinder or food processor

 

2 large egg whites (or 3 small) egg whites. Make into meringue using your

favorite technique. A wire wisk works, an electric blender works too.

 

3/4 cups regular sugar.

 

6 cardamom pod seeds, ground up or equivalent amount in powder.

 

grated rind of 2 key limes (or lemons).

 

Rice wafer paper or parchment paper.

 

Preheat oven to 350F

 

Mix sugar into stiff egg whites, add ground pistachios. Add cardamom and grated

lime rind. Make sure all is mixed well but not overmixed.

 

Drop a tbsp at a time in parchment paper or rice paper wafers, placed on a

cookie sheet. Leave enough room around them because they will flatten.

 

Bake for about 15 minutes until golden around the edges. let cool for 30

minutes before removing from cookie sheet.

Wow, thanks for the other yummy sounding cookie recipes. That will help me add

a little variety when I feel the need to snack. I'm trying to avoid snacking

all together, but sometimes you just want a little something sweet.
