Amaretti Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:
1 8oz. can almond paste
1 cup superfine or castor sugar (if none is available, grind regular sugar in food processor for about 30 seconds)
2 large egg whites
Hardware:
2 baking sheets
Parchment paper
Damp paper towel
Food processor

Preheat oven to 350 F. and line two baking sheets with parchment paper
Break the almond paste into small pieces and place in bowl of food processor, with the sugar. Pulse until the mixture is very fine. Add the egg whites in three additions, processing well after each addition. Continue processing the dough until very smooth (about one minute)
Spoon mixture evenly onto parchment with teaspoon. Space them about 1 inch apart. After you have filled the baking sheet, take a damp paper towel and smooth out the edges and surface. Lightly sprinkle the tops of each cookie with sugar.
Bake for 8 to 15 minutes (I start with five minutes, and continue with two minute increments) or until the cookies have risen slightly, and are a light golden brown, and have tiny cracks. Take out of oven, and place on baking rack to cool. After they have cooled, remove from parchment, take damp paper towel and wipe parchment under each cookie, and twist cookie gently.
