#2 — Amy's Amaretti
Description
My amaretti recipe is really easy, and my family and friends eat them up like there's no tomorrow - you will too. I love almonds, so I was really excited to make these wonderful cookies - especially since they're a healthier than many other cookies out there.

Ingredients
- 3 cup blanched, slivered almonds
- 1 1/2 cup white sugar
- 3 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300F degrees.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, grind the almonds into a fine meal.
- Add the sugar and continue to process for another 15 seconds.
- Finally, add egg whites and almond extract, continue to process until a smooth dough forms around the blade.
- Using a teaspoon, place well rounded spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets.
- Cookies should be at least 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Cookies should be golden.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the paper before removing.
