I am just forwarding it from a friend who made these for me when our bookclub met at her house - they are incredibly delicious, and no one realized they were gluten-free. :) Enjoy. Chris Minneapolis, MN Amaretti 4 c slivered almonds (fresh imperative) 2 c sugar Grind until very fine (not a paste). (I use my little food chopper, 1/2 cup of almonds and 2 T sugar at a time.) Put aside. 4 egg whites 1 t almond extract Beat until stiff, soft peaks form. Fold in a small amount of almond mixture at a time (1/2 cup?). Using a 1.5 inch cookie scoop, place on parchment-lined cookie sheets. Let dry for 2 hours. Sprinkle with powdered sugar (optional). Bake at 300 for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are golden. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
