Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a medium saucepan, combine almond flour, powdered sugar, and egg whites. Whisk thoroughly.
Place the pan over low heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour in the lemon juice, remove from heat, and stir with a soft spatula until the dough cools.

Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
Take a baking tray and line it with baking paper.
Using a paper envelope, form the dough into round cookies with a diameter of 5-6 cm, leaving a gap of 3-4 cm. You can place a whole almond kernel on top.
Preheat the oven to 130°C (250°F) and bake the almond cookies on a baking sheet for 30 minutes. Monitor them closely during the last 10 minutes to ensure they're done. As noted above, the cookies shouldn't be too dark.
Remove the finished product directly on the baking paper and place it on a damp, cool towel, which will allow it to be easily separated from the paper.

Serve the cookies on a serving platter.
