    "For a big batch I use another version: 4 egg whites, 1 1/4 cups sugar and 1 lb 2 oz (500 g) sliced almonds. Whisk the whites with the sugar (don't whip), gently fold in the almonds, spread cookies with two spoons and bake at 320°F (160°C) for 10-15 minutes, until golden.",
    "For a more elegant version, I add 3.5 oz (100 g) bittersweet chocolate.",
    "Store in an airtight container at room temperature."
