Method (preview)

1. 1

   Blend together egg whites, butter, sugar, flour, vanilla, and salt in a food processor just until smooth.

2. 2

   Put liner on a baking sheet (17 by 11-inch nonstick such as silpat).

3. 3

   Using 2 teaspoons batter per cookie, make 6 mounds, spacing them 3 inches apart, then spread into 4 1/2- to 5-inch rounds with back of a spoon (they will be very thin but try to spread batter as evenly as possible).

4. 4

   Sprinkle each round with about 1/2 tablespoon almonds.

5. 5

   Bake cookies until golden brown, 7 to 9 minutes.

6. 6

   Let stand on baking sheet 1 minute, then, working quickly, remove each cookie with a metal spatula and drape over a rolling pin or a wine bottle (you will need 2 pins or bottles) to form a curved shape.

7. 7

   Let stand until crisp, about 20 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
