Istruzioni

1. 1

   Preparare

   Preparare gli ingredienti.

   Sift the almond flour if it looks coarse for a smoother cookie.

2. 2

   Cuocere

   Cuocere a fuoco medio fino a cottura.

3. 3

   Condire

   Condire con sale e pepe.

   If the dough is too wet to scoop, rest it 10 minutes; the almond flour absorbs moisture.

4. 4

   Servire

   Servire caldo.

   Don't skimp on the coating; a thick sugar layer gives the prettiest crackle.

5. 5

   Shape on the tray

   Place balls 4 cm apart on a parchment-lined sheet. Press a whole almond on top if desired, or leave plain. They spread only slightly, so spacing can be modest.

6. 6

   Bake

   Bake at 160°C (320°F) for 16 to 18 minutes, until pale gold with cracked tops and set edges. The centers stay soft. Avoid overbaking, which turns them hard and dry.

7. 7

   Cool fully

   Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. They firm as they cool, developing the chewy interior and crisp shell that define amaretti morbidi.
