Preheat oven to 375 F & line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Add the sugar, baking powder, flour, & egg whites to the food processor with the nuts. Pulse until everything is evenly combined & sticking together.
Scoop leveled Tablespoons of dough & roll into balls.
Place the rolled dough on the prepared cookie sheets about 1 inch apart. Use the bottom of a glass to slightly flatten each.
Bake 10-12 minutes. The cookies should look light in color without much crisping on the edges.
