Instructions
Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Place confectioners' sugar, almond flour and spices in a food processor. Cover and process until well blended.
Add cream of tartar to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Fold in almond mixture in several additions.
Place mixture in a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of bag. Pipe 1-in.-diameter cookies onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
Let stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes or until a light crust forms.
Bake at 325° for 10-14 minutes or until firm to the touch. Cool completely on pans on wire racks.
In a small bowl, beat the filling ingredients until light and fluffy.
Spread over the bottoms of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies.
