Author Notes
A recipe for classic amaretti, inherited from my mother. They come out of oven chewy and get crisper the longer you store them. Great with a cappuccino. —Vera Kern
Ingredients
-
1
egg white
-
1 pinch
salt
-
1/2 teaspoon
almond extract
-
100 grams
sugar
-
100 grams
almond flour
-
1 tablespoon
powdered sugar
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350° F (170° C).
-
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
-
Whip the egg white with the salt and almond extract until slightly stiff.
-
Fold in the sugar.
-
Fold in the almond flour.
-
Shape small balls from the dough, I make them smaller than an inch. The dough is pretty sticky so I create the basic shape between my fingers and then roll the dough on the parchment paper to achieve a smooth surface.
-
Sift powered sugar of the cookies.
-
Bake for about 15 min.
-
Take out of the oven and remove from the baking tray. Let cool.
