Almond Snowballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup ground almonds (measure 1 cup from ground almonds or almond meal)
    3/4 cup icing sugar, plus extra to dust (confectioners sugar)
    1 egg white
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 160\u00b0C ( 325\u00b0F ).
    Process ground almons in a food processor until a paste forms. This shoud take a couple of minutes. Use shorter bursts on the processor until completed.
    Add icing sugar and eggwhite and process until combined and smooth consistency.
    Roll 2 teaspoons of mixture at a time into balls. Then roll each ball into sifted icing sugar to coat thickly. (I make mine on the small side- will fit into a chocolate paper/foil wrapper after being cooked. You can make larger ones if you wish).
    Place on baking trays lined with baking paper and bake for 10 minutes. They will puff up as they cook.
    Cool on trays and then store in airtight containers.
