01 Step

5 mins
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or gluten-free baking wafers. (5 minutes)
02 Step

7 hrs
In a clean, grease-free glass, metal, or ceramic bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. (5-7 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
5 hrs
Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat at high speed until the meringue is glossy and holds firm peaks. (3-5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
5 hrs
In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour and cinnamon. Gently fold this mixture into the meringue using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites. If the batter seems too runny, add more almond flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a pipeable consistency. (5 minutes)
05 Step

15 hrs
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip (or use two teaspoons). Pipe or spoon small mounds of the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. (10-15 minutes)
06 Step

20 hrs
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the meringues are lightly golden brown and feel firm to the touch. (15-20 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
30 hrs
Carefully remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the meringues cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to wire racks. (30 minutes)
For best results, use room temperature egg whites. This will help them whip up to a greater volume.
Be careful not to overbake the meringues, as they can become dry and brittle. They should be lightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
Store the cooled meringues in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
For a festive touch, dust the cooled meringues with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate.
