Sedef Imer: I leave my pipped mixture sit for 20 minutes because it gives the cookies a nice, slightly dried outer layer which gives the cookies a good crunch after it bakes. Try to let your cookies sit in the fridge instead of the counter where it might be warm and can make your mixture runny. Hope this helps! :)

Can I ask why you are leaving the piped mixture sit for 20 minutes before baking? Mine always go flat during baking and I am trying to figure out why and what the trick is to get them to retain their shape...

Tigerfish: Actually you need to use a food processor to grind the whole almonds from the recipe.

However, if you can get two cups worth of ground almonds at the grocers, you can substitute with that :) Then this recipe would be really no fuss!

Although I would really suggest that you make sure you almonds are as fresh as it gets, which why i suggest using whole unblanched almonds. Chances are they'd be fresher than the ready made grounded ones.

You can use vanilla extract too but if you want like reaaaal almond flavor which is distinct in amaretto cookies, try to get almond extract/essence from the baking section if you can :)

I don't really bake...but I'm tempted to try this because it's easy(seem that it does not need any mixer/blender, right?)
Just don't have the almond extract/liquer...wonder if I can use vanilla extract?

sasi: thanks man, it makes my heart all warm and fuzzy to have a fan like this hahahaha...:) I appreciate it :)

hey, if you're a natural cookie monster, you must try this one, it's SOOOOOO good and the amaretto is very light too before you know it, you'd be eating half of the pan's worth of cookies! :P
