So, I was at Ocean State Job Lots this weekend, and picked up a few packages of Italian Amaretti cookies. OMG - these are amazing! Crispy, meringue like, and so yummy. They are light as air and so addictive. Perfect for my holiday baskets. But, I can't find a recipe anywhere! Does anyone have one, or any ideas on adapting an existing recipe? The ingredient list is eggs, almond flour, corn flour, wheat flour, sugar, and leaveners.

Thanks!

This is the recipe I use(This was a winner from a Martha Stewart Cookie Contest several years ago)

It has become a family favorite.
