Categories     Cookies

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

20 oz peeled almonds (OR 20 oz almond flour)
1 ⅔ cups sugar (OR 12 oz confectioners sugar)
1 tsp almond extract (OR 5 oz bitter apricot kernels)
5 egg whites
1 pinch salt
1 cup confectioners sugar

Steps:

  • If you're using whole peeled almonds, toast them in the oven until lightly brown. This will give a darker color and more bright flavor to amaretti.
  • Once almonds reach desired color, cool them completely.
  • Pulse almonds and bitter apricot kernels (if you opt to use those as in traditional Italian recipe) with sugar in a food processor as finely as you can.
  • NOTE: if you are using almond flour, use confectioners sugar instead of regular sugar. This way you don't need to use a food processor. Simply mix everything in the bowl.
  • Add almond extract.
  • Beat egg white with a pinch of salt until completely white and fluffy.
  • Start to fold egg white into sugar and almond mix. Add a couple of table spoons at a time. You should reach silky and stiff consistency of the cookie dough. NOTE: You may not need to use all egg whites, just enough to get the dough together.
  • Sprinkle work surface with some powdered/confectioners sugar.
  • Pinch off some dough and roll it into ⅔ of an inch rope.Using a dough scraper cut the rope into ⅔ of an inch pieces.
  • Roll each "pillow" giving it a ball shape (size of a walnut) and roll it in generous amount of confectioners sugar.
  • Place each cookie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.Decorate with an almond nut (optional).
  • Bake in preheated to 350F oven for 12-15 minutes, just until inside the crinkles amaretti become lightly brown.

Time 1h15m

Yield 32 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups super-fine almond flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large egg whites
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
  • Whisk the almond flour, granulated sugar and salt in a large bowl to combine. Beat the egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute 30 seconds. Add the almond extract and beat to combine. Fold the egg whites into the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Put the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Using a 1-tablespoon scoop, portion the dough and roll into balls. Toss each ball in the confectioners' sugar, coating thoroughly. Arrange the balls 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until golden brown and the tops crack, 23 to 25 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

SPICED AMARETTO



Spiced Amaretto image

I love Amaretto or other liqueurs for dessert. This could go either way, before or after dinner. I usually don't like the taste of most hard liquors, but the spiced rum with the amaretto was incredibly delicious! The addition of club soda makes it a nice before dinner drink, and, alternatively, the cream makes it a luscious dessert drink. (And I admit to using fat free half and half and it was great.) Thanks to Boomette's Disacolada for the inspiration!
