almonds for days

so there are these cookies my mom and i used to get when we went to the beach. we used to get them from this italian bakery down there. well i decided to hunt them down and re-create them. they're called amaretti cookies; they're super flavorful, and easy to make

3 cups slivered almonds, finely ground up
1 1/4 cup sugar
3 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract

preheat oven to 300 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper

in a food processer, pulse together your almonds and your sugar.
then add your vanilla and almond extracts and pulse together a few times.
one at a time, add your egg whites. and just blend together until your batter is smooth.



place on your baking sheets about an inch apart. you can make them as big as you want, they might just take more time baking.


they took about 35 minutes to cook
