Amaretti biscuits - Italy




Amarettis do not require a lot of ingredients and are so delicious that I recommend you to double to quantities. You can then keep the biscuits in a box for several days.

For about 30 biscuits
Preparation time: 20 mi
Cooking time: 10 min
Difficulty: *

Ingredients:
- 2 egg whites

- 150g granulated sugar
- 175g powdered almonds 
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 50g powdered sugar  

1.   Preheat your oven at 200°C/400°C degrees.
2.   Beat the egg whites for 2 minutes and add the granulated sugar. Contniue beating for about 2 minutes until firm.
3.   With a spatula, slowly mix in the powdered almonds and almond extract.
4. With your hands, make irregular balls, looking like rocks, and roll them in the powdered sugar. Use about 1/2 table spoon of dough for each biscuits.
5. Lay the biscuits on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Bake for about 10 min, until they are lightly brown. Let cool and serve.
