Ingredients:

  • 6 oz pecans (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup potato starch
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • scant 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

  1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Coarsely chop 1 cup pecans and set aside. Pulse remaining 1/2 cup pecans in a food processor with sugar, potato starch, salt, and cinnamon until finely ground (be careful not to pulse to a paste), then stir into egg whites. Stir in remaining cup chopped pecans.
  3. Drop 1/2 tablespoons of batter 2 inches apart on baking sheet and bake until cookies are lightly browned and slightly puffed, 15 to 17 minutes. Slide parchment onto a rack and cool cookies completely (cookies will crisp as they cool), then remove from paper. Bake and cool 2 more parchment-lined sheets of cookies in same manner.
  4. Cooks' note: Cookies can be made 1 week ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
