Recipe: little tastes of Venice!
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups almonds (blanched)
- 2 egg whites
- 1½ tsp cornstarch
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1½ tsp salt
- 1/3 cup sugar
- ½ tsp almond extract
- 1 tbsp amaretto
- ½ cup brown sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 190 C degrees. Using a food processor, pulse the almonds, cornstarch and confectioners’ sugar until the almonds are very finely chopped.
2. Place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer and add the salt. Beat the whites until foamy and light. Gradually add the granulated sugar in a steady stream, and beat until the whites are somewhat stiff and glossy. Beat in the almond extract and amaretto.
3. Gently fold in the ground-almond mixture. Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of batter onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle generously with brown sugar.
4. Transfer to oven and bake until cookies are pale golden and begin to crack slightly, about 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 100 degrees. Leave oven door ajar and let cookies stand in oven until completely dry and crisp, 25-30 minutes more. Let cookies cool briefly on baking sheets, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.
