Italian Almond Paste Cookies
Ingredients:
2 egg whites
8 ounces almond paste
⅔ cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon vanilla
½ cup almond flour
powdered sugar, for dusting
sliced almonds, for the tops
Directions:
With a hand mixer (not stand mixer) beat the egg whites until frothy and white.
Break up almond paste in smaller chunks and add to the beaten egg whites along with almond flour, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
Cover the dough and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or freeze for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line your tray with parchment paper, or a silicone baking mat.
Portion out 1 inch balls placing them 1-2 inches apart on the tray. Dust balls with powdered sugar. Gently press 2-3 almonds into the tops of the cookies (don’t do just one).
Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until edges and bottoms start to brown.
Cool on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

My dad was an Italian baker and he passed away, I wasn’t able to learn from him or receive our recipes. These cookies have always been my favorite and this is the only authentic recipe I could find. Thank you!

Can you use almond extract as well?

[@thomasaglione5628]

freeze the almond paste and then use a cheese grater/shredder to shred the frozen almond paste.

Can you make a coconut l chocolate chip cookies?

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

YES! I will make the Cowboy cookie for you. It's a cross between the oatmeal cookie and a chocolate chip cookie, they are so good! Look for that video Wednesday or so!

I'm Romanian. How did you like your experience when you went to Romania?

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

I absolutely loved being in Romania! The country had just opened up and the locals were so happy to see us, meet us. And the food was sooooooooo good. It was such a blessed time.

I don't understand these almond cookie recipes, I make my own almond paste and its almonds egg whites and sugar, this recipe calls for almond paste, and then also calls for sugar almonds and egg whites, surely this is the equivalent of adding almond paste to almond paste. I just don't get it.

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

The almond paste makes the cookie more tender and creamy. I don't think you can get that with just ground almonds and eggs white that haven't been "pasted" together. But I'm not entirely sure! All I know is that these cookies are amazing. ;)
