Amaretti Cookies: From Malgieri, Nick. Great Italian
Desserts.
Preheat oven to 375 and line two baking sheets with
parchment paper.
Ingredients:
8 oz can almond paste
1 cup sugar
2 large egg whites
Using Heavy duty Electric Mixer:
Break the almond paste into small pieces and place in bowl
of electric mixer along with the sugar. Mix on low speed until very fine. Add
the egg whites in three additions, mixing well after each addition. Continue
mixing the dough until very smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Scoop out with small 1” ice cream scoop onto the parchment paper, spacing about 1 inch
apart.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cookies have risen, are a
deep golden color and have tiny cracks. Remove from the oven and place baking
pan on a rack to cool. When cool gently peel cookies from parchment. If they
stick to parchment, turn the paper over, take a damp paper towel and gently
wipe the bottom of the parchment paper to loosen the cookie.
Makes about 40 cookies.
