Almond Kisses
2 cups almond meal
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 egg whites
1/3 teaspoon almond extract
1 jar marashino cherries, drained
1/4" ice cream scoop
Parchment paper
Preheat oven at 375
Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper
In a mixer with the paddle attachment, combine almond meal and sugar by mixing on low for a few seconds
Add the egg whites and almond extract
Mix on high until the dough pulls together into a sticky mass that turns on itself into a thick ball of coarse dough
Use 1/4" ice cream scoop to make balls of dough on parchment (The dough is sticky, so the ice cream scoop can be dipped in cold water to help)
Put cherry in middle of cookie and press until it's a disk with raised edges around the cherry
Bake 375 for 10-15 minutes
Cool 10 minutes on cookie sheet, then put on wire rack.
