I haven't made this recipe yet, so please don't ask for tips! 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.

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.
