These are so good and I love how easy they were to make. I didnt have almond extract at home so I added extra vanilla, (I had a bottle of Pure Mexican Vanilla that I bought in Mexico), I also whipped the egg whites till they were stiff, and they came out yummy. I did forget them in the frig overnight but they still came out perfect, thanks for sharing.

These are really easy. I left out the almond extract as I didn't have any and added a little extra vanilla of which I used alcohol free. I also found they would fall apart with egg replacer so I added a couple more eggs using less liquid (mine is a dry egg replacer). Additionally I added some honey as well which may have helped them stay together. But they turned out fine.

I finally got to make these last night. These are a tasty, delicate treat. I like how easy they are to make and I really like the addition of the almond extract - yum, yum, yum. My non-GF husband gave them two thumbs up. I am glad he helped me eat them so I wouldn't eat the whole batch by myself. Thank you for a wonderful recipe that is going to be a keeper for my family.

Love to cook -- especially easy but tasty dishes. Also, if my Crock-Pot were a man, I would marry it.
