In a food processor, combine 2.25 cups of almonds, reserving 15 whole nuts, and half of the sugar. Process until finely ground.

Using a mixer, beat the egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form, then gradually add the remaining sugar. Beat well and fold in the almond mixture, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
