How to make Paciencia Cookies

Paciencia Cookies Ingredients: |
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 2 egg whites
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Paciencia Cookies Instructions: |
- Preheat the oven to 275° F or 140° C.
- Prepare cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Sift all purpose flour and baking powder and set aside.
- Beat the egg whites in the bowl until they start to foam and stiff, add sugar little by little and beat until meringue is glossy with stiff peaks.
- Fold in all purpose flour then add the vanilla extract.
- Attach the coupling into a piping bag but don't put any icing nozzle. Spoon the Icing mixture into the bag.
- If you dont have a piping bag you can use wax paper shaped into a cone or a ziploc bag with the tip snipped.
- Pipe the Icing batter like a flat coin sized rounds about 1 ½" in diameter on the parchment-paper-lined cookie sheets.
- Make sure to put space between cookies one inch apart.
- Bake until lightly toasted, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Leave to cool in the baking pans before transferring into an air-tight jar.

I've made meringue cookies without flour before, but these are the first I will try without flour. Seems like they'll have much more "bite" to them. Thanks for the recipe!
