Amaretti with Pine Nuts
From linspj 16 years agoIngredients
- 2 cups whole blanched almonds shopping list
- 1/2 cup sugar shopping list
- 3 large egg whites shopping list
- 1 tsp. almond extract shopping list
- 1 tsp. orange extract (optional) shopping list
- a handful of pine nuts (for sprinkling) shopping list
- icing sugar for dusting (optional) shopping list
How to make it
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- In either a blender or food processor, grind the almonds with about a tablespoon of sugar until they are very fine.
- In a bowl, beat the egg whites (with a mixer or by hand) until they are foamy.
- Begin adding the remaining sugar, a little at a time, and continue beating the egg whites until they are very stiff (stiff peaks form).
- Gently fold in the nuts and then add the almond and orange extract (be careful not to overmix so that you don’t deflate the mixture).
- Using a tablespoon, carefully spoon rounds of dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheets. Leave a few inches between each cookie.
- You can use a pastry bag to pipe out the cookies or you can just use a spoon and carefully spoon drops of the dough onto baking sheets
- Sprinkle some of the pine nuts over each cookie and bake for about 30 minutes. The cookies will be firm and lightly golden when they’re done.
- Let cool completely before dusting with icing sugar and serving.
