Almond Cloud Cookies

These are only slightly different than from the King Arthur website where I found them. If I had infinite time and money, I would do nothing but cook their recipes all day. These are chewy and crunchy and almondy and AMAZING! I would probably add a little lemon zest next time.

Ingredients:

10 oz. almond paste (from the reviews, you really should use love n'bake!)
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1/4 tsp. vanilla
2 egg whites
confectioner sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325

2. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper

3. Mix almond paste, sugar, and salt with a food processor (I use a pastry cutter) until it's a consistently crumbly texture.

4. Add in egg whites until uniform

5. Add in almond and vanilla extract

6. Drop heaping tablespoons on parchment paper; top generously with confectioners sugar, then use 3 fingers to make a dent in the top

7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until just starting to brown around the edge

8. Cool in the pan
