I was after a recipe for glazed piped almond meal biscuit/cookie that you get from a pasticierri shop. Outer is crisp but inside the biscuit is soft or moist. Sometimes they come with a green/red cherry or almond on top or crescent shape with peanuts, etc. They are NOT armaretti's. Thanks.

Almond biscuits with glace’ cherries

Almond biscuits with glace’ cherries



Ingredients
200g blanched almond meal
250g caster sugar
1 tablespoon honey
2 to 3 egg whites
2 drops almond essence
2 drops vanilla essence
30 mixed glacè cherries

Note: This recipe must be made a day before baking.

Method
Line two baking trays with baking paper. Place almonds, sugar honey, almond essence and vanilla essence into the bowl of an eclectic mixer and use the paddle attachment. Mix for about 2 to 3 minutes, until all ingredients are combined.
Add the egg whites slowly as you may not need to use all of it. The mixture needs to form a paste-like texture. Mix for a further 5 minutes.
Pipe mixture onto the trays using a star nozzle in a rosette shape about the size of a 50 cent piece and at about 3cm apart.
Place the trays in a dry area overnight as this will help the biscuits keep their shape when cooked. Heat the oven to 180°c and bake the biscuits for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips
• Use a number 9 star nozzle.
• Use a fabric piping bag.
• Make sure the oven is right at 180°c. If any lower the biscuits may collapse.
• You may need to add more egg whites depending on the size of the eggs.
• This recipe is gluten free.
