Acıbadem kurabiyesi

Acıbadem kurabiyesi are traditional Turkish cookies. They're made with a combination of egg whites, sugar, and almond flour. Traditionally, a few bitter almonds would be used in the preparation, but as they're not readily available today, almond extract is sometimes used as a replacement. The combination is cooked over medium heat, then mixed with lemon juice and left to cool. Once baked, the cookies should have a chewy texture. They're typically served with Turkish coffee or ice cream.
