Recipe - Pastine Fantasia Alla Milanese (Fancy Cookies Mil)

4 ounce Almond; shelled & blanched
1/3 cup Sugar
One fourth cup Confectioners' sugar
1 Egg white; beaten
1 small Egg; beaten
One fourth teaspoon Vanilla; or
1 One half teaspoon Rum dark; or
1 One half teaspoon Creme de Cacao

Drop almonds in egg white, drain and put through a food grinder twice (a
food processor works nicely; not necessary to mash 'em to death!) Blend
chopped almonds with rest of egg white, the beaten egg, sugar and
seasoning. Pack almond mixture in cookie press or pastry tube and shape on
buttered and lightly floured baking sheet. Make cookies small and in
different forms. Decorate with walnut halves, or blanched almonds, or
candied fruit peel, or jam. Bake in 375 degree oven for 15 minutes. Makes
about 2 dozen cookies. DELICIOUS!!! [Ed Lawyer]
