Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time, while continuing to beat at high speed. Combine almond flour and cinnamon in a bowl and fold into egg white mixture with a spatula. Add more ground almonds if mixture is too runny.

Use two teaspoons to place little mounds of almond mixture 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
