Background
In Italy, sometimes you can purchase wonderful soft almond cookies made out of what they call almond paste. How they do it has always been a kind of secret to me. I have tried many times but I never got even near the original. This time was no exception, but it does not need to be like the original to be good... So it was indeed very enjoyable. Trying to remember the exact recipe, and this is my best try. They tasted a lot like soft meringue.
Ingredients
3 egg whites
1,75dl sugar
125gr almonds (a little bag)
Procedure
Cook hot water and throw in the almonds. Remove the skin. Mix the clean almonds until you do not have any pieces left.
Whip egg whites.
Mix with sugar and almonds.
Continue whipping for a long time until the mixture seems to keep its form. Actually it is not easy and it takes some time, but at the end it will work.
Put in the oven at 140 degrees Celsius and bake 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the cookies in there until the day after (or at least until the oven is cold).
