As I was looking for uses of leftover egg whites...I fell upon your recipe Catherine.
Having some fresh mint replaced the basil...Orange zest and its juice replaced the lemon...and voila...a real tasty cookie was presented to my guests last weekend. Thanks for the inspiration ;o)
Ciao for now and flavourful wishes,
Claudia
These cookies are delicious with a cup of tea or perfect with a glass of wine. They are not too sweet.
With Love,
Catherine
