ITALIAN ALMOND COOKIES (RICCIARELLI) - GLUTEN FREE!
Recipe video above. These lovely little Italian cookies have a beautiful chewy texture and bursting with almond flavour. And because they're gluten free and dairy free, everyone can enjoy them!The almond sliver coating is something I copied from an Italian bakery in Sydney. It gives the cookie a great textural finish and makes it less fragile. Without it, you need to handle the cookie with care, and to me it feels less like a cookie because the crust is quite soft.These cookies are traditionally studded with dried cherries but other similar dried fruit will work in a pinch eg cranberries, or even raisins.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F (170°C fan). Line 2 trays with baking/parchment paper.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Place the almond meal, sugar, zest, almond extract and salt in a bowl. Whisk together until zest and almond extract is evenly distributed. Add the cherries and set aside
- Beat eggs whites: Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites and honey to soft peaks (Note 5). About 2 minutes on Speed 8 of a handheld beater, or 1 1/2 minutes on Speed 6 of a stand mixer.
- Fold the beaten egg whites gently into the almond mixture. You will seemingly knock most of the air out of the meringue, that's ok! (You actually haven't :) ).

ITALIAN ALMOND COOKIES
These delectable almond cookies are made with just a few ingredients. Though they're typically Sicilian, similar versions are found all over Italy. A bit like macaroons, they are crisp on the outside, with a perfumed chewy interior. They may be baked plain, decorated with candied fruit or whole almonds, or made into thumbprint cookies, filled with a spoonful of good jam. Ideal to bake in advance, these cookies keep well for several days, ready to serve at a moment's notice.

Steps:
- Put half the almonds and half the sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Process to obtain a coarse meal. Repeat with remaining almonds and sugar.
- Put egg whites and almond extract in a medium bowl. Using a wire whisk, beat whites until soft peaks form. Add the almond-sugar mixture to the whites and use a rubber spatula to incorporate the egg whites until you obtain a doughlike consistency.
- Use a spoon or small ice cream scoop to make 24 little blobs weighing about 1/2 ounce/20 grams. Roll each between 2 palms to make smooth spheres, then flatten them slightly. Roll them in a bowl of confectioners' sugar to coat well and place 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Use the end of a wooden spoon to make little round dents in each cookie. Fill dents with whole, unblanched almonds or Amarena cherries, if desired. Alternatively, leave cookies plain with smooth tops. Leave the tray of unbaked cookies at room temperature, uncovered, for 1 hour.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake until lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl break up the almond paste. Add the softened butter, sugar, eggs and almond extract. Beat batter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the flour and the salt. Split the batter into thirds and add enough of the three different food colorings to each third to color the batter nicely.
- Spread the batters into three 9 x 13 and 1/4-inch deep aluminum baking pans. Be sure the batter is only about 1/8-inch thick or it will rise to high.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12 minutes.
- Cool. Remove baked and cooled cakes from pans and place on a cookie sheet or cutting board.
- Heat the jam and spread between the layers as you stack them.
- Spread the melted chocolate over the top layer and refrigerate. When stiff remove cookies from the refrigerator and let chocolate soften slightly before cutting into small rectangles.
Tips:
- Use high-quality almonds for the best flavor and texture. - Toast your almonds to intensify their flavor. - Use a fine-mesh strainer to remove any almond flour clumps. - Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to mix the dough. This will help ensure that the dough is well-combined and smooth. - If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more egg white. - Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. - Brush the cookies with egg wash before baking. This will help them brown nicely. - Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown. - Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.Conclusion:
