" Seventeen year old songtress Amanda Mair is already a huge hit in Sweden for her romantic keyboard-heavy tunes. Her single, &amp;quot;House,&amp;quot; has already been getting air time in MTV, and her CD hits stores in the US June 5, 2012. (Psst! Watch the music video for her song &amp;quot;Sense&amp;quot; here.) Back home in Sweden, she loves to snack on these biskivier biscuits - almond cookies with whipped topping covered in chocolate. Here&amp;#039;s her family recipe. So yummy! Ingredients: For the almond cookie: 3.5 oz almond paste 3.5 tablespoons almond paste 1 egg white For the butter cream: 2 egg whites 14 tablespoons butter (approx. 1 &amp;amp;amp; 1/3 sticks) 1.5 cups of sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar 4.5 oz dark chocolate Set aside 5 oz dark chocolate for dipping. Directions: First, make the almond biscuits:  Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Mix almond paste, sugar, and egg white and put the mixture into a piping bag. Pipe out about 20 circles on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake the biscuits for about 13 minutes or until golden brown.  Then, make the butter cream:  Whip egg white, sugar, and vanilla into a soft meringue. Whip the butter in a separate bowl until it is light and airy. Mix the whipped butter and meringue for about 15 minutes. Melt the chocolate and allow it to cool. Then, stir it into the butter cream. Frost the cream on the biscuits, and let the cookies harden in the fridge. Using a double boiler, slowly melt down the remaining chocolate. Dip the biscuits in the chocolate and cover all the buttercream. Place on parchment paper and put the cookies back into the fridge until they&amp;#039;re hardened completely.  Amanda Mair&amp;#039;s self-titled debut album will be released June 5. What other celebs do you want to steal recipes from? Drop us a comment!  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
