Here's a food puzzler from reader Dee Avila:
Q: What food do you throw away the outside, cook the inside, eat the
outside, and throw away the inside?
A: Corn

These little cookies make an excellent accompaniment to ice cream, and
are great all by themselves. I like to dip mine in espresso for a
special after dinner treat.
Amaretti (Almond Cookies)
3/4 cup (180 ml) blanched almonds, finely ground in a food processor
3/4 cup (180 ml) sugar
2 large egg whites
1/2 tsp (2 ml) almond extract
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix to form a thick, sticky
dough. Drop about 1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) per cookie on a baking sheet
lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated 350F (180C) oven for
about 15 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges. Remove from
oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before lifting with a knife or
spatula. Makes about 3 dozen.
