  3. Lightly whisk the egg whites and gently fold into the almond mixture.
  4. On a prepared baking sheet, scoop 2 tablespoon of the almond mixture. Using your finger, spread as thin as you can while shaping into a circle leaving no empty gaps. Continue with the rest of the mixture until you fill the Baking sheet leaving ½" space apart.
