Steps:
- If you're using whole peeled almonds, toast them in the oven until lightly brown. This will give a darker color and more bright flavor to amaretti.
- Once almonds reach desired color, cool them completely.
- Pulse almonds and bitter apricot kernels (if you opt to use those as in traditional Italian recipe) with sugar in a food processor as finely as you can.
- NOTE: if you are using almond flour, use confectioners sugar instead of regular sugar. This way you don't need to use a food processor. Simply mix everything in the bowl.
- Add almond extract.
- Beat egg white with a pinch of salt until completely white and fluffy.
- Start to fold egg white into sugar and almond mix. Add a couple of table spoons at a time. You should reach silky and stiff consistency of the cookie dough. NOTE: You may not need to use all egg whites, just enough to get the dough together.
- Sprinkle work surface with some powdered/confectioners sugar.
- Pinch off some dough and roll it into ⅔ of an inch rope.Using a dough scraper cut the rope into ⅔ of an inch pieces.
- Roll each "pillow" giving it a ball shape (size of a walnut) and roll it in generous amount of confectioners sugar.
- Place each cookie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.Decorate with an almond nut (optional).
- Bake in preheated to 350F oven for 12-15 minutes, just until inside the crinkles amaretti become lightly brown.

Steps:
- Prepare oven and baking sheet: Preheat oven to 300°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Make the dough: In a food processor pulse together the almond flour and sugar. Add the vanilla and almond extract and pulse for a few seconds. Add the eggs, one at a time, and continue to process until the dough is smooth.
- Dollop dough onto lined baking pan, dust with sugar: Place teaspoons of the dough on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet and dust with sugar.
- Bake: Bake at 300°F for 24-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely before serving. They will be slightly chewy at first, but they will be nicely crispy as a day or two goes by. Store in a cool, dry place. (Note: I usually under-bake mine since I like them chewy. If that's your preference, bake them for about 20-24 minutes.)

- Break the almond paste into small pieces and add it to the bowl of a food processer along with the sugar, cocoa powder and salt.

With a small scoop or spoon, dollop the batter onto the baking sheets, 1 tablespoon at a time, spaced 2 inches apart. Top each cookie with a few almond slivers and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
- Bake until the cookies have risen and cracked slightly but are still soft in the center, 13 to 14 minutes; rotate the baking sheets halfway through. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets. Store in an airtight container.
