Easiest Amaretti Cookies Ever

1. 1

   Stir sugar and egg white until sugar has dissolved.

2. 2

   Stir in amond flour and almond essence, but be careful: this mixture is too tough for a handmixer! I just dump everything in my bread machine and run the 'dough' program for a while until the dough is mixed evenly. A good food processor might do the job too ;-) Or just mix it thoroughly with a rubber spatula.

3. 3

   Spoon the mixture into a cookie press to shape small round cookies or use a small ice cream scoop to form little balls.

4. 4

   Place cookies 1/2 inch apart on greased cookie sheet or silpat.

5. 5

   Bake for approximately 30 minutes at 300, place on lowest rack setting in your oven for the first 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Cookies are done when they start to turn lightly golden. They will be chewy right after baking but will become very crisp overnight.
