Preparation steps

1.

For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F). Whip the egg whites, lemon juice, salt and sugar until stiff peaks form.

Combine the ground almonds, cornstarch and cinnamon then fold into the egg whites. Transfer to a piping bag with a large plain tip and pipe 50-60 small mounds (3 cm diameter) (approximately 1 inch) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press a whole almond into each mound.

Bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. For the dip: Whip the sour cream until creamy and add the liqueur. Serve with the cookies.
