Steps:
- Adjust oven racks in the upper-third and lower-third positions. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Break the almond paste into small pieces and add it to the bowl of a food processer along with the sugar, cocoa powder and salt. Process until the almond paste is very finely chopped and well incorporated with the salt and sugar. Add the egg whites and vanilla, and process until a smooth dough forms, about 30 seconds. With a small scoop or spoon, dollop the batter onto the baking sheets, 1 tablespoon at a time, spaced 2 inches apart. Top each cookie with a few almond slivers and sprinkle with sanding sugar.

Arrange the peaches in a single layer in a heavy baking tin, then bake for 25-30 minutes or until the flesh is tender and the stuffing nicely browned.

CHOCOLATE AMARETTI PEACHES
When fresh peaches (or nectarines) are in season, this is such an easy & truly special dessert to make using them & Amaretti cookies. Per the Joy of Baking website: "Amaretti is the Italian name for macaroons, which means little bitter things. Crisp & crunchy on the outside & soft inside, these sml domed-shaped cookies originated in Venice, Italy. Consisting of almonds or almond paste, sugar & egg whites that can be flavored w/chocolate or liqueurs & two baked cookies can be sandwiched together w/ganache, buttercream or even jam. Often served w/a sweet dessert wine, liqueurs or ice cream. Also ground up & added to desserts to give added texture & flavor." You can buy or make the vanilla or chocolate cookies ... or ... use my recipe for chocolate amaretti cookies posted here on RZ. The recipe source is my "CHOCOLATE" cookbook by Christine McFadden & Christine France.
