Amaretti Cookies

Ingredients

• 11/3 cup whole un-roasted almonds

• 1/3 cup (50 grams sugar

• 1 tablespoon almond paste (or more to taste)

• 1 egg

• Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat convection oven to 300°F.

2. Add almonds, sugar and almond paste to a food processor and blend until fine. Taste to make sure it's extra almond-flavored; add more paste if needed. Add the egg and blend again.

3. Use two spoons or a small ice cream scoop to make egg yolk-sized balls, and place them on a prepared baking sheet. Press down to slightly flatten cookies.

4. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the color is just lighter than the almonds. Let cool slightly, then top with some powdered sugar and enjoy!
