ITALIAN ALMOND COOKIES
These delectable almond cookies are made with just a few ingredients. Though they're typically Sicilian, similar versions are found all over Italy. A bit like macaroons, they are crisp on the outside, with a perfumed chewy interior. They may be baked plain, decorated with candied fruit or whole almonds, or made into thumbprint cookies, filled with a spoonful of good jam. Ideal to bake in advance, these cookies keep well for several days, ready to serve at a moment's notice.

Steps:
- Put half the almonds and half the sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Process to obtain a coarse meal. Repeat with remaining almonds and sugar.
- Put egg whites and almond extract in a medium bowl. Using a wire whisk, beat whites until soft peaks form. Add the almond-sugar mixture to the whites and use a rubber spatula to incorporate the egg whites until you obtain a doughlike consistency.
- Use a spoon or small ice cream scoop to make 24 little blobs weighing about 1/2 ounce/20 grams. Roll each between 2 palms to make smooth spheres, then flatten them slightly. Roll them in a bowl of confectioners' sugar to coat well and place 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Use the end of a wooden spoon to make little round dents in each cookie. Fill dents with whole, unblanched almonds or Amarena cherries, if desired. Alternatively, leave cookies plain with smooth tops. Leave the tray of unbaked cookies at room temperature, uncovered, for 1 hour.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake until lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

ITALIAN ALMOND COOKIES II
This cookie is very chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside, BUT the entire outside is coated in sliced almonds for a fantastic look and is absolutely delicious. It is well worth the effort.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine almond flour and 1 1/2c powdered maltitol in mixing bowl with fork until consistent.
- While mixer is on low, add egg whites one at a time.
- Add the rest of the maltitol, the almond extract, and the flour. Mix until consistent.
- Drop onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper using a small cookie dough scoop or by the rounded iced-teaspoon full.
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes until starting to brown. Remove from oven and let sit a couple more minutes on cookie sheet. Carefully remove to cooling rack.
- I was missing one ingredient. Next time I will press each dough ball slightly into a bowl filled with 1c sliced almonds before placing on cookie tray. This really makes the cookie! I didn't have any. They're not included in the nutritional value at the moment.
- This made 20 servings last night and is calculated as such. Should make 24. I used too much dough per scoop.
- This recipe was based on "Italian Almond Cookies II" at AllRecipes: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Italian-Almond-Cookies-II/Detail.aspx
- I had to more or less figure out how to make my own substitute for the almond paste, and it cut down a bit on regular flour at the same time. Ignore the picture there. These should be almost coated with a layer of the sliced almonds. I found the AllRecipes recipe when trying to recreate the famous Italian Almond cookies found at Giolitti's in Annapolis! Trust me -- they need the sliced almonds to be truly great. :).

- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites at medium speed using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Stir in the almond extract and then stir in the flour mixture. It'll be a thick dough.
- Your cookies may spread more or less than the ones pictured, depending on whether or not your almond flour is very fine or not. I suggest doing a test cookie. If it bakes up nicely, then bake the rest. If it's too flat for you, you may want to add up to about 1/3 cup (33 grams) more almond flour. I did this once and the cookies were still sweet enough and worked perfectly.

- Combine Dry Ingredients: Place the almond meal, sugar, zest, almond extract and salt in a bowl. Whisk together until zest and almond extract is evenly distributed. Add the cherries and set aside
- Beat eggs whites: Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites and honey to soft peaks (Note 5). About 2 minutes on Speed 8 of a handheld beater, or 1 1/2 minutes on Speed 6 of a stand mixer.
- Fold the beaten egg whites gently into the almond mixture. You will seemingly knock most of the air out of the meringue, that's ok! (You actually haven't :) ).
