Fake is better than Real

So, my sister had to be on a 7 week liquid diet for....various reasons, but I promised her that I would make her her favorite french pastry.... a cigarette.  That sounds funny:)  But they are really simple if you know how to actually cook them because mine don't look right.

What you need:
5 tbs. softened butter
4 egg whites
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 scant cup flour- scant is a little less than a half cup
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup ground almonds

First, whip the egg whites

 Add the flour, sugar, salt, and vanilla

 Add the ground almonds

 Add the butter last

5 tbs of butter cut into 4 squares. haha

 Mix until it's well combined

 Spoon disks onto parchment paper
 Bake at 350 for 7-10 minutes

I think I need to perfect it a lot

 Once it's out, wrap it around a marker or pencil

I think they don't look right, but here's what they are supposed to look like
