For best results, use blanched almonds that have been finely ground. This will give the cookies a smoother texture. Ensure that your mixing bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of any grease or oil, as this can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly. Room temperature egg whites will whip up to a greater volume than cold egg whites. Sifting the confectioners' sugar ensures that there are no lumps, which will result in a smoother meringue. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
