Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Whip powdered sugar and egg whites until very light and fluffy, 4-5 minutes. Remove and reserve 1/2 cup.
Step 3
Into remaining egg white mixture, fold in almond meal, spices, salt and lemon zest. Mix until a solid dough forms.
Step 4
Roll dough between two pieces of parchment or waxed paper to 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut dough into shapes, rerolling the scrapes as many times as needed.
Step 5
Transfer cookies to the prepared baking sheets. Ice each cookie with the reserved egg white mixture and sprinkle with sparkling sugar.
Step 6
Bake for 15-20 minutes. Let cool before serving.
