Time 40m

Yield 21 cookies, 21 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 ounces almond paste
1 cup sugar
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/8 teaspoon lemon oil (optional) or 1/8 teaspoon orange oil (optional)
confectioners' sugar or glazing sugar, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
  • Blend the almond paste and sugar until the mixture forms fine crumbs; this is best done in a stand mixer.
  • Add the egg whites gradually, while mixing, to make a smooth paste.
  • Stir in the flavorings.
  • Scoop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared pans.
  • Sprinkle the cookies heavily with confectioners' sugar, then use three fingers to press an indentation into the center of each cookie.
  • Bake the cookies for 20 to 25 minutes, until they're brown around the edges. Remove them from the oven, and let them cool right on the pan.
