Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 lbs almond paste
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Break up almond paste into pebble-like pieces.
  3. Combine almond paste, sugar, confectioners' sugar and egg whites in electric mixer on low speed until blended.
  4. Increase speed to medium and continue mixing for 2 minutes. The dough should be sticky now.
  5. Roll dough into one inch balls. Keep a bowl of water nearby in which to dip your fingers - it'll keep the dough from sticking to your fingers while rolling each cookie.
  6. Place balls 2 inches apart on cookie sheet and lightly flatten each cookie.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool completely before removing from parchment with a metal spatula.
