Dorie Greenspan knows cookies. Over the course of her career, she’s written more than 300 cookie recipes, and if you’ve tried any of those recipes before (like her World Peace Cookies), you know to expect greatness. These 3-Ingredient Almond Crackle Cookies are her go-to cookie when she needs something quick for company and they’re a sweet, snappy little cookie that’s super simple to make.

It’s hard to believe that you can make a cookie with just three ingredients, but you can! These are made up of just eggs, sugar, and sliced almonds, but we’ve amended it with a little pinch of salt. (You can always leave that out and stay true to Dorie’s original recipe if you wish, though.)

The ingredient list is simple and the preparation is simple too. You just whisk together the egg and sugar until it has thickened and then stir in the almonds and spoon the mixture out onto a baking sheet. That all takes less than five minutes!

When they emerge from the oven, you’ll have a toasted crackly cookie with just enough sweetness and a whole lot of crunch. They’re much airier than brittle but much snappier than a traditional cookie. I agree with Dorie that they’re the perfect thing to whip up for company, but they’re just as fitting for a spur-of-the-moment sweet snack for yourself.
