Italian Amaretti

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.

2. 2

   Crumble almond paste into a large mixing bowl. Beat in the egg whites and sugar until smooth. The batter should be soft and sticky-if not, add in an extra egg white.

3. 3

   Put the nuts in a separate bowl. Drop a scant tablespoon of batter into the nuts and roll into a ball, coating completely with the nuts. Place balls on parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool for 2 minutes and transfer to racks.

4. 4

   Dust cooled cookies with colored confectioners sugar if desired.
