PrintThe Cartoon Kitchen: Amaretti
This week's Cartoon Kitchen features Serious Eats' cartoonist in residence Larry Gonick's spin on amaretti, the classic ultra-light Italian cookie made with little more than almonds, egg whites, and sugar. —Ed Levine
Amaretti
Ingredients
Butter and flour, for baking sheet
2 egg whites
1 cup sugar
Salt
1 cup chopped or crushed almonds
3/4 teaspoons almond extract
Procedure
1. Butter a rimmed baking sheet and dust with flour, tapping away any excess; set aside. Beat 2 egg whites until frothy; slowly add 1 cup sugar and a touch salt, and beat to beat the band.
2. When quite thick, fold in the almonds and the almond extract.
3. Teaspoon onto the prepared baking sheet; let sit for 2 hours, and then bake at 350°F until pale brown, about 12 minutes.
4. Remove from oven and let cool on a cooling rack.

So easy to do and the price would be right! Thank you!
I am going to assume that using Amaretto instead of the extract would be acceptable?
