For a more intense almond flavor, lightly toast the blanched almonds before grinding them. Be careful not to burn them!
Room temperature egg whites whip up better, resulting in a lighter cookie.
If your dough seems too wet, add a tablespoon of almond flour at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
Dust the cookies with powdered sugar before baking for a festive touch.
