      Title: Amaretti Cookies #4
 Categories: Cookies
      Yield: 24 servings
 
  1 1/4 c  Almonds
           Blanched/lightly toasted
    3/4 c  Powdered sugar
      2 ts All-purpose flour
      2 lg Egg whites
    1/3 c  Granulated sugar
      1 ts Grated lemon zest
      1 ts Almond extract
 
    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 amaretti don't brown. Turn off the oven and let
  the amaretti dry out for an additional hour--they should be very crisp.
  Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
