Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C). Grease a 17 x 12 x 1-inch (43 x 30 x 2.54 cm)+ baking sheet with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1½ cups of caster sugar with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the egg yolks and beat until fluffy.
- Add the amaretto, lemon zest, and orange zest and beat until just combined.
- Gradually add the flour and salt and mix on low speed until no dry spots remain, being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Spread the dough evenly on the prepared pan, making sure the top is as smooth as possible. Brush the dough with the egg white, then sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn off the oven and let the cookies cool inside for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and cut while slightly warm.
- Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
