Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease cookie sheets or use parchment paper.

In a large bowl, use your hands to mix the almond paste, flour, egg whites, white sugar, and confectioners’ sugar until well blended. The mixture will be very sticky.

Place the sliced almonds in a small bowl. Scoop rounded teaspoons of dough and drop them into the almonds. Roll until completely coated. Place cookies 2 inches apart on prepared sheets.

Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Tips:
– Chill dough 30 minutes to make handling easier
– Scoop with a small ice cream scoop
– 3rd shelf from bottom: ~13 minutes
– Cookies should puff slightly and crackle

Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
