Ingredients

  • 250 g Nuts, almonds, roasted, unsalted

  • 200 g Powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla, extract, imitation

  • 4 pieces Egg, egg white, fresh

Steps

  1. Finely grind the almonds (in a grinder or food processor) and mix them in a bowl with 150 g of powdered sugar and almond extract. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. While beating, slowly add the remaining powdered sugar. Gradually fold the almond mixture into the egg whites with a whisk and mix until you get a smooth batter.

  2. Preheat the oven to 150 °C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Spoon the prepared mixture into a piping bag. Pipe the amaretti onto the parchment paper (use a smooth nozzle). The mounds should be the size of a walnut. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 20 minutes until they are lightly browned. Remove the baked cookies from the oven and let them cool completely. Transfer them to a serving plate and serve.
