• Almond flour — Make sure to use finely ground almond flour for the best texture in the cookies.
• Granulated sugar — If you prefer a less sweet cookie, you can reduce the amount of sugar slightly.
• Egg whites — Separate the egg whites carefully to avoid any traces of yolk, as it can affect the texture of the cookies.
