These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few extra egg whites in my fridge, so this recipe is perfect for me.

These cookies are really good, but they're a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I'll try adding an extra egg yolk to the dough next time.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. I think I needed to chill the dough for longer.

These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
