Ingredients
1 1/4 c. AlmondsBlanched/lightly toasted
3/4 c. Powdered sugar
2 Tsp. All-purpose flour
2 lg. Egg whites
1/3 c. Granulated sugar
1 Tsp. Grated lemon zest
1 Tsp. Almond extract
Directions
In a food processor, grind the almonds to a powder by pulsing off and on to keep the powder loose. Mix the almonds with the powdered sugar and flour. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually beat in the granulated sugar until stiff. Fold in the lemon zest and almond extract. Pipe the mixture with a pastry bag using a round 1/4-inch tip into 1 1/2-inch rounds onto baking sheets lined with lightly buttered waxed paper or parchment. Bake in a preheated 275 degree oven for 1 hour, checking to make sure the Amaretto don't brown. Turn off the oven and let the Amaretto dry out for an additional hour--they should be very crisp.
