- 300 grams granulated sugar
- 3 grams baker's ammonia or baking powder
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon almond extract or almond liqueur
- powdered sugar as needed for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 340° F (170° C).

- Add the remaining granulated sugar and egg whites.
- Add the baker's ammonia and the almond extract and blend in the food processor until creamy, airy and very well mixed.
- Put the cookie dough into a piping or pastry bag with a very large round tip.
- Cover a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
- Squeeze out small dough balls of the same size and space them evenly in a single layer on the covered tray. Remember to leave space for each amaretti cookie to expand slightly during baking.
- If the cookies are too round or have a point at the top you can wet your finger with water and use it to gently shape the cookies to make them more even and flat.
- Sprinkle a little sifted powdered sugar on the surface of each cookie.
- Bake at 340° F (170° C) for 20-25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven when golden, be sure not to let the cookies turn brown.
- Let the cookies cool completely.
- You can dust them again with icing sugar before serving and then enjoy these absolutely delicious, soft, sweet and chewy amaretti cookies!
