1/3 cup almonds, toasted,
finely chopped
2 egg whites
1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon rum or vanilla extract
1/4 cups butter, melted
1/3 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a small mixing bowl beat egg whites, sugar, salt and extract together. Add
melted butter and flour; mix well, then fold in toasted almonds.
Turn 6 glasses upside down and spray with cooking spray.
Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper, draw
5-inch circles then fill each circle with 2 level tablespoons batter
spreading evenly. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 5 minutes or
until edges are brown. Working quickly
remove cookies with a spatula; invert onto sprayed glasses. Use your fingers to
mould
into shells. If they become
too brittle, return to hot oven for one minute to soften then resume shaping them into
cups. Can be made
ahead.
Fill with ice cream, frozen yogurt, fresh fruit or sorbet
and serve.
