SC - uses for leftover almond crumbs?

[Sharon R. Saroff]

I have a recipe for Murachinos, Turkish almond macaroons that uses 3 cups
ground almonds, 3 egg whites, 1 1/2 cups sugar (I use 1 cup) and a pinch of
salt.  The recipe is out of Sephardic Holiday Cooking by Gilda Angel.  I
recently won a dessert competition with these cookies.  They seem to be a hit.
