Ingredients for Amaretto Cookies
- Blanched Almond
- Almond Extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- Egg Whites
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
How to Make Amaretto Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the amaretto liqueur and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can dust the cookies with powdered sugar (optional) for an extra touch of sweetness.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
