Almond Cookies

   this isn't Anne's recipe but it surely must be very similar indeed

   16 ounces almond paste
   1 1/2 cups sugar
   3 large egg whites, lightly beaten
   1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
   Sliced almonds
   Confectioner’s sugar

   Preheat oven to 325F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment. Pulse the almond
   paste and sugar in the food processor until combined.  Pour mixture into the
   mixer bowl of a stand mixer and add the three egg whites, mixing until
   combined.  Add the vanilla.  Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop out the
   mixture into balls and place on the parchment lined sheet.  Garnish them with
   sliced almonds if you like. Sprinkle with powdered sugar through a sieve and
   bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, watching them closely at the end of the
   baking time.  When they begin to brown around the edges they are done.

   Makes about 20-23 cookies.
