Step-by-Step Recipe:

- Gradually add the powdered sugar and the remaining lemon juice to the egg whites, continuing to beat until you have a stiff meringue.
- In a separate bowl, combine the ground almonds with the meringue, adding it gradually until you have a fairly stiff dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a surface sprinkled with powdered sugar and shape it into two logs.
- Slice the logs into cookies about the width of your finger and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

- Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for 40-45 minutes on the middle shelf.
