1/4 Cup Sugar Plus Additional for Coating the Dough
2 Lg. Egg Whites, beaten lightly
1/2 Cup Fine-Quality Lemon Marmalade
In a food processor grind together the almonds and 1/4 cup of the sugar until the almonds are ground medium-fine, transfer the mixture to a large bowl, and stir in the egg whites and the marmalade, stirring until the dough is combines well.
On a work surface sprinkled generously with the additional sugar. Roll rounded teaspoons of the dough into balls, coating the balls with the sugar. Flatten the balls slightly to form patties and arrange the patties 1 1/2 inches apart on greased and lightly floured baking sheets. Bake the cookies in batches in the middle of a preheated 325 degrees F. oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden. Makes about 45 cookies.
