Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place the egg whites in a bowl. Add the sugar and salt and stir until

the butter into the egg white mixture. Stir in the flour and add almond
extract. Using a measuring spoon, drop by teaspoonfuls, well apart, onto a
greased or non-stick baking sheet.
Bake 1 sheet at a time for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the edges are
