Best Amaretti

My family swears these are the best amaretti they've ever tasted. The secret is in letting them rest before you bake them, so plan to read a good book or go for a nice walk, then bake and eat 'em up!

Cooking Time12 min

Ingredients

  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup chopped blanched almonds
  • 3/4 teaspoon almond extract
