Ingredients

  • 11 ounces ground almonds
  • 3 eggs whites
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 0.75 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour cookie sheets.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar and keep whipping until the egg whites can hold a stiff peak, this will take about 5 minutes. Set aside about 1/2 cup of the egg whites. Add the lemon zest and cinnamon to the rest of the meringue, and fold in the almonds until everything is evenly blended.

  3. 3

    Drop mounds by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. Top each cookie with a smaller dollop of the reserved meringue.

  4. 4

    Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Remove cookies from the baking sheets to cool on wire racks.

Air Fryer Ranch Pork Chops

This air fryer pork chop recipe is so simple with ranch seasoning mix and just 10 minutes in the air fryer. I prefer my chops slightly pink to ensure juiciness, but feel free to add an extra minute on each side for well-done. Try different varieties of ranch mix (like spicy or bacon) to change up the flavor.

This pizza comes together in a flash and looks like one you'd get from a fancy pizza joint. The key is to use a brand of nuggets you are familiar with and enjoy. Don't skip the fresh basil--that extra layer of flavor makes the whole pizza pop.
