Amigdalota - Almond Cookies

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
• In a bowl combine eggs, 2 cups of sugar and almond extract and mix for 2-3 minutes.
• Fold in the ground almonds. The mixture will be quite moist and sticky.
• Shape into round balls (1 1/2” in diameter).
• Place the remaining cup of sugar on a separate plate and roll the balls in the sugar.
• Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper and place cookies on the baking tray.
• Place one whole almond on top of cookie and press gently.
• Bake for 12 minutes at 275 degrees F.
• Allow to cool and place in an airtight container as the cookies should remain chewy and not dry and crunchy.
