How to Make Italian Almond Cookies with Maraschino Cherries | Sicilian Pastry (ONLY 3 INGREDIENTS)

Italian Almond Cookies with Maraschino Cherries | Sicilian Pastry (ONLY 3 INGREDIENTS)
Here in Sicily, these almond cookies are super popular! I would safely say that almost every pastry shop carries them. It was so much fun to re-create such a traditional sweet that I’ve seen for years in bakery shops since I was a kid.
These almond pastries are super easy to make and you only need 3 main ingredients. They are soft and chewy and a great dessert idea.
RECIPE:
250 g peeled almonds (1 cup + 1/3 cup + 1/3 cup)
150 g powdered sugar (about 1 cup)
2 egg whites
Maraschino cherries (about 15 cherries)
1 g Vanillin or 1 tsp vanilla paste (optional)
Lemon zest to your taste (optional)

I would love to make these but unfortunately i do not have a pastry bag. Will i be able to make them by hand into balls and flatten them lightly. I am not sure if the dough will be too soft to roll into balls. Please advise. Thank you

[@darlyzumo]

If you whipped the egg whites until stiff foam, how would that affect the cookies?

If I have almond flour (it’s blanched almonds) how much would I use in place of grinding raw almonds?

[@GiuliaArdizzone]

Hi Michelle! I would use the same amount :)

[@GardenandGrub]

Can you substitute already ground almond flour? If so how much

[@GiuliaArdizzone]

Yes, same amount in grams :)

[@nancypozzobon5487]

Why do you state the amount of almonds needed as 1 cup + 1/3 cup + 1/3 cup? Is the extra 1/3 to be used as a topping instead of cherries or do you use all the 1 2/3 cups for the cookie batter?

[@GiuliaArdizzone]

Hi Nancy. Sorry about the confusion, for the batter I used 250 g of almonds which is about 1 + 2/3 cup. I wrote 1/3 cup twice because usually the 2/3 cup is not used. All the best ✨

[@StefanoDelSole]

Are you using powdered confectioners sugar or granulated sugar?

[@GiuliaArdizzone]

Hi Stefano. I am using powdered sugar. You can make even make it at home by blending regular sugar. :)

[@Stircrazyy10]

How much ground almonds do you need if I were to just buy it already ground?

[@GiuliaArdizzone]

same amount in grams

[@hannouelgabesseya]

in Tunisia called it "petit four"

[@GiuliaArdizzone]

awesome! :)

[@deedebdoo]

Really? “Petit four”, in U.S.A., are tiny square layer cakes covered in frosting. They are about 1 inch square.

My son needs you you are so pretty and have great personality

[@florl.delgado4093]

Can I use artificial sweetner?

[@GiuliaArdizzone]

Hi Flor. You could try with Erythritol since it has the same consistency as sugar. I'm not sure about other types of sweeteners
