- Preheat oven to 350°F Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Break up almond paste into pebble-like pieces.
- Combine almond paste, sugar, confectioners' sugar and egg whites in electric mixer on low speed until blended.
- Increase speed to medium and continue mixing for 2 minutes. The dough should be sticky now.
- Roll dough into one inch balls. Keep a bowl of water nearby in which to dip your fingers - it'll keep the dough from sticking to your fingers while rolling each cookie.
- Place balls 2 inches apart on cookie sheet and lightly flatten each cookie.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool completely before removing from parchment with a metal spatula.
