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.

Time 40m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 7-ounce package almond paste
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
2 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup slivered almonds, for decorating
1/4 cup white sanding sugar, for decorating

Steps:

  • Adjust oven racks in the upper-third and lower-third positions. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Break the almond paste into small pieces and add it to the bowl of a food processer along with the sugar, cocoa powder and salt. Process until the almond paste is very finely chopped and well incorporated with the salt and sugar. Add the egg whites and vanilla, and process until a smooth dough forms, about 30 seconds. With a small scoop or spoon, dollop the batter onto the baking sheets, 1 tablespoon at a time, spaced 2 inches apart. Top each cookie with a few almond slivers and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
  • Bake until the cookies have risen and cracked slightly but are still soft in the center, 13 to 14 minutes; rotate the baking sheets halfway through. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets. Store in an airtight container.

AMARETTO CHIP COOKIES

These are similar to Recipe #161166 but I believe I have change it up enough to warrant a new post. These are a delicious change of pace from plain ol' chocolate chip cookies, and I love to make them as a treat for Christmas gift tins! Good luck staying out of the dough--it tastes even better than the finished product! ETA: I am editing the recipe following Katzen's review--this year I think I have gotten it right :).
