Simple Amaretti Cookies
Ingredients
- 3 cups almond flour
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar, divided
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 Tbsp amaretto
- 2/3 cups whole almonds
Instructions
- Combine almond flour and 1 cup sugar. Add egg whites and amaretto and mix until combined. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Preheat an oven to 350 F.
- Put ¼ cups of sugar into a shallow bowl. Shape dough into balls size of a walnut and roll in the sugar.
- Place dough balls on a cookie sheet, slightly flatten them and press an almond in the center. Bake for 13-15 minutes until puffed up and cracked slightly, and lightly browned around edges.
- Remove from cookie sheet to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Most of the amaretti recipes call for egg whites whipped to soft peaks, but this simpler version also works!
