1. Whip egg whites and lemon juice together with a stand mixer or hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
2. Using a fine mesh sieve, sift in almond flour, 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar, salt, and baking powder and fold into egg whites. I don't do it all at once but maybe in 2-3 batches. Try to keep some air in the egg whites, but at this point it will form a pretty sticky dough rather than a fluffy meringue.
3. Add orange zest, vanilla extract, and almond extract and fold in until combined.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using clean hands, roll dough into balls about 1" in diameter, then roll in powdered sugar until well coated. Shape into an oval, then arrange on baking sheet with some space between them for spreading, and flatten slightly.

1. Position the oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°. Line a half baking sheet with parchment paper. Note: do not use a silpat as the cookies will have a tendency to stick to the silicone mat.
2. Use the large holes on a box grater to grate the almond paste. Transfer to the work bowl of your food processor and add the granulated sugar. Process the the almond paste and sugar together for about 1 full minute or until smooth and evenly combined.
3. Add the egg white, salt and almond extract and process until blended and smooth. Transfer the almond paste mixture to a medium bowl using a rubber spatula to scrape all the batter from the container. Add the almond flour and use the rubber spatula to mix it well into the almond paste mixture.
4. Sift the powdered sugar into a small bowl. Use a mini cookie scoop (holding 2-3 teaspoons) and scoop rounds of the dough into the powdered sugar. Gently toss the almond cookie to coat with sugar and transfer to the parchment lined baking sheet.
