Amaretti

Ingredients

• 1
  
  egg white
  
• 1
  
  pinch salt
  
• 1/2
  
  teaspoon almond extract
  
• 100
  
  grams sugar
  
• 100
  
  grams almond flour
  
• 1
  
  tablespoon powdered sugar
  

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F (170° C).
2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
3. Whip the egg white with the salt and almond extract until slightly stiff.
4. Fold in the sugar.
5. Fold in the almond flour.
6. Shape small balls from the dough, I make them smaller than an inch. The dough is pretty sticky so I create the basic shape between my fingers and then roll the dough on the parchment paper to achieve a smooth surface.
7. Sift powered sugar of the cookies.
8. Bake for about 15 min.
9. Take out of the oven and remove from the baking tray. Let cool.
