Amaretti style cookies

Let’s make it.

1. Heat oven to 170°C and line a baking tray. Mix almonds and caster sugar.
2. Whisk egg whites to soft peaks, then gently fold into the almond mixture with extract.
3. Roll into 16 small balls with damp hands, dust with icing sugar and place spaced apart on the tray.
4. Bake 18–20 minutes until lightly golden and set throughout. Cool fully before removing from the tray.
