Amaretti Cookies
Ingredients
- Egg3
- Almond · ground280 g
- Sugar280 g + 3 tbsp + 3 tbsp
- Vanilla¼ tsp
- Amaretto liqueur2 tbsp
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F (fan). Line two baking trays with a silicone mat or baking parchment.
- Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks.
- Fold in the ground almonds, caster sugar and vanilla extract.
- Slowly stir in the amaretto, adding just enough to make a thick, very sticky paste that holds together in your hand.
- Put the caster sugar and icing sugar for rolling on two separate plates.
- Scoop out a teaspoon of mixture and roll it into a walnut-sized ball. Roll it in caster sugar, then in icing sugar, and place on the tray.
- Repeat with the rest of the dough, leaving space between the balls as they will spread slightly.
- Flatten each ball slightly with a finger; the edges may crack, which is fine.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Leave to cool for 5 minutes, then move to a rack. Serve warm or let cool completely.
