Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large bowl, add the room temperature egg whites with the vanilla extract, almond extract, and orange zest.
- Whisk with an electric whisk until you get a foamy consistency. It should not be stiff like meringues but very soft foam.
- Add the sugar and the almond meal and mix with a spoon until you get a paste. If crumbly, knead with your hands until the dough stays compactly together.
- Dust a cutting board with powdered sugar and roll the dough into a thick cylinder, about 2 inches (5 cm) thick, then cut it into 1 inch (2.5 cm) chunks.
- Flatten lightly the discs on the board, then give them an oval shape and coat them well with powdered sugar.
- Set the Ricciarelli on a baking sheet, then lightly wet your fingers with water and wet the surface of each cookie (it should be just slightly wet, not drippy), then dust again with abundant icing sugar to coat them well. Tap lightly with dry fingers to smoothen the sugary surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for the first 5 minutes at 300°F (150°C), then 5 minutes at 340°F (170°C) and the last 5 minutes at 320°F (160°C). Alternatively, you can bake them only at 320°F (160°C) for 18-20 minutes.
- Gently move the cookies to a cooling rack with a spatula and let them cool completely before serving.

RICCIARELLI (SIENESE CHRISTMAS COOKIES)
These are delightfully moist little almond cookies which come from a centuries old Italian recipe. There are many alternatives you can do to the base recipe. The photo shows plain Ricciarelli laced with Rum and Ricciarelli with orange and lemon, dipped in dark chocolate. I've made boxes of these cookies for people and they always seem to come back for more!

Steps:
- Sieve together the Icing Sugar, Flour and Baking Power into a bowel, then mix in the Ground Almonds.
- In a separate bowl, add a couple of drops of almond extract to the egg whites and then whisk until stiff peaks form.
- Stir the stiffened egg whites into the dry mixture until a sticky 'dough' is formed.
- If you are trying the options, at this point add either a tablespoon of mixed orange/lemon peel OR the zest of half a lemon/orange OR a tablespoon of Rum, Brandy or Amaretto.
- Sprinkle a board with sifted Icing Sugar and take a desertspoon full of the dough, roll in the Icing Sugar and form into a ball. Flatten the ball a little with the back of a fork. Continue until all your dough is gone (the amount above should make 12-16 cookies).
- Line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper and place your dough balls on, taking care to leave space for 'spread' during cooking.
- Pop into an oven that's been preheated to Gas Mark 6 (200C, 390F) until golden brown. This should take approximately 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from oven and leave to cool completely. If you are intending to dip the cookies in chocolate, at this stage you should melt very good quality dark chocolate (70%+ cocoa solids) in a bowl over a pan of simmering water and dip the cooled cookies inches Return them to the tray and cool off in the fridge or a cool place until chocolate is set.
- Ricciarelli keep for a few weeks in an airtight container.

RICCIARELLI
AKA Sienese Almond Cookies, one of many sweet things simply called 'marzipan'. They are quite similar to the soft amaretti. Bought some for the festive season and it was strongly hinted that I should recreate them if possible. A little bit of googling turned up this recipe from thetravelerslunchbox.com, having borrowed it from Tessa Kiros.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with baking or parchment paper.
- Mix the almonds with the caster sugar,2/3 of the icing sugar, all the baking powder and the orange zest.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks, then stir them into the almond mixture.
- Using a large spoon, mash the mixture to a wet, sticky mass.
- Stir in the almond extract.
- Form oval or torpedo shapes about 2.5 inches long, roll in the remaining powdered sugar, and flatten slightly.
- Put them onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing room to spread slightly (mine doubled in size), and sift the remaining powdered sugar over the tops.
- Leave the cookies at room temperature for about 2-3 hours to dry a little before baking.
- Preheat the oven to 275F/140°C
- Bake the cookies for about 30 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and a little firm on the outside (the insides should still be soft). Turn the baking tray halfway through cooking if your oven demands this type of attention (mine is rather unreliable, so I got half of them over cooked so the insides weren't soft).
- Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
