- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg whites
- ⅓ cup almond meal
- 1 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper.
- In bowl of mixer, combine almond paste and sugar until combined. Mix in egg white, almond meal, almond extract and salt until fully combined.
- Transfer dough to a large piping bag and pipe in 3 inch diameter circles. Cookies will not spread much during baking – so leave only about 1/2 inch between cookies. If adding sliced almonds, sprinkle them onto the tops of the cookies before baking and slightly press them into the dough.
- Bake cookies until just beginning to turn golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
