For a more intense almond flavor, lightly toast the blanched almonds before grinding them. Be careful not to burn them! Room temperature egg whites whip up better, resulting in a lighter cookie. If your dough seems too wet, add a tablespoon of almond flour at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. Dust the cookies with powdered sugar before baking for a festive touch.

01 Step
Recipe View Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a food processor, grind the blanched almonds into a fine meal. Be patient and pulse the processor to avoid overheating the almonds, which can release their oils. (5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Add the granulated sugar to the almond meal and process for another 15 seconds, ensuring the sugar is evenly incorporated. (1 minute)
04 Step
Recipe View With the processor running, gradually add the room temperature egg whites and almond extract. Continue processing until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms around the blade. The dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl. (3 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Using a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop, drop well-rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 1 1/2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading. (10 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the cookies are a light golden brown. Keep a close eye on them, as baking time can vary depending on your oven. (25 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the parchment paper before removing them. This allows them to firm up and prevents them from breaking. (30 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View Once cooled, store the Amaretti in an airtight container in a dry place. They will maintain their delightful crunch for several days.
