Amaretta Cookies
This recipe comes from John Sullivan's friend and colleague Gena Walker (coincidentally a cousin of Robert D'Angelo - see cream puff recipe). These festive appearing cookies are delicious and destined to be a Scavone family Christmas favorite.
4 cups almond flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp almond extract
5 egg whites
Maraschino cherries, each cherry cut into 4 pieces
Preheat oven to 350. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Mix almond flour, sugar and almond extract by hand. Set aside. In second bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer until they peak. Incorporate the egg whites into the flour mixture by hand until the mixture is uniformly moist. Drop a teaspoon of dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheet. Press a cherry piece on top. Bake for 14 minutes.
