                                                2 tablespoons matzo cake meal  |  
                                                3/4 cup whole blanched almonds  |  
                                                3/4 cup matzo cake meal  |  
                                                3/4 cup sugar  |  
                                                1/2 cup chopped dried apricots  |  
                                                1 teaspoon grated orange rind  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon almond extract  |  
                                                3 large egg whites  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Preheat oven to 325°. 2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons matzo cake meal. 3. Place the almonds in a food processor; pulse 3 to 4 times or until coarsely chopped. 4. Lightly spoon 3/4 cup matzo cake meal into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Add 3/4 cup matzo cake meal, sugar, and remaining ingredients to almonds; pulse 3 to 4 times or just until combined. (Mixture will be sticky.) 5. Using hands dusted with matzo cake meal, divide dough into 16 portions. Roll each portion into a ball; pinch tops to form a pear shape. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake at 325° for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.                              |
