Preparation

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  Combine the almonds, sugar, and flour in a food processor. Mix to a coarse powder.
  Add the egg whites, egg, and melted butter. Stir well. The mixture should have a medium light consistency.
  Grease a cookie sheet, and spoon the batter onto the cookie sheet, the equivalent of a teaspoon, spacing the cookies 3 inches apart. Sprinkle sliced almonds on each cookie.
  Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Use a spatula to loosen the almond cookies.
  Place the hot cookies in a ring mold or a rolling pin to give them a curved shape.
  As they cool, they become crisp. Store in a cookie tin.
