Lunch: Amaretti Recipe | Myrecipes

Recipe by Charity Ferreira Package these crunchy cookies in a gift box with a pound of your favorite coffee beans. Look for almond paste on your supermarket's baking aisle, and for best results, don't substitute marzipan, which is sweeter and more finely

Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
1 (7-ounce) package almond paste
1 teaspoon amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur)
2 large egg whites
1/4 cup turbinado sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °.
Place granulated sugar and almond paste in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until almond paste is broken into small pieces. Add amaretto and egg whites; beat on high speed 4 minutes or until smooth. Chill batter for 20 minutes.
Drop batter by teaspoonfuls 1 inch apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle evenly with turbinado sugar. Bake at 350 ° for 10 minutes or until edges of cookies are golden brown. Cool completely on pans; carefully remove cookies from parchment. Cool on wire racks.
