Here is a recipe for Almond Meringue Cookies to help you satisfy your nut craving without the nuts! Flavour extracts such as almond extract or maple extract are a great way to get the flavour without the potassium or phosphorus.
2
egg whites or 4 tbsp pasteurized egg whites (allow to come to room temperature)
1 tsp
cream of tartar
½ tsp
almond extract
½ tsp
vanilla extract
½ cup
white sugar
Preheat oven to 300F.
Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until doubled in volume. Add remaining ingredients and beat until firm peaks are formed.
Using two teaspoons, push one teaspoon full of meringue onto a parchment lined cookie sheet with the back of the other spoon.
Bake at 300F for approximately 25 minutes or until meringues are crisp. Store in an airtight container.

Best meringues I have ever made. Mom loved them, and they were so easy to do-easier than making a brownie mix. I will definitely save this recipe!
