From: Terri Huggett <huggett@...> From November 1987 issue of Gourmet, article on Biscotti. In a bowl beat together the almond paste and the sugar until the mixture is combined; in another bowl beat the whites until they are very frothy, beat in the almond paste mixture and the almond extract, and beat the mixture for 2-3 minutes, or until it is combined well. Drop the dough by teaspoons 2 inches apart onto buttered and floured baking sheets, press about 7 pine nuts into each macaroon, and bake the macaroons in the upper third of a preheated 350F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden. Let the macaroons cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, transfer them to racks, and let cool completely. Store the pine nut macaroons in airtight containers. Makes about 36 biscotti.
