Measure out approximately one tablespoon of the mixture. Roll into a ball. Do this for the remaining amount of mixture. In a bowl mix together the second measure of powdered sugar and corn starch for the coating.
Roll each of the balls in the powdered sugar mixture, coating the entire surface.
Place the coated balls on the trays. Slightly pinch both sides of each ball and then push down in the center.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow biscuits to cool.
The recipe makes approximately 40 biscuits.
Almond and amaretto make for a great flavor combination. Enjoy!
