About Amaretti biscuits
Amaretti biscuits are traditional Italian cookies made primarily from almonds, sugar, egg whites, and sometimes flavored with almond extract or liqueur. Originating from Italy, their name derives from the word "amaro," meaning bitter, referencing the subtle bitterness of almonds. These biscuits are typically light, crisp on the outside, and chewy inside, offering a delightful balance of sweetness and texture. Almonds, the key ingredient, provide nutritional benefits such as healthy fats, vitamin E, and a source of protein; however, the sugar content should be consumed in moderation. Gluten-free by nature due to the absence of wheat flour, amaretti biscuits are a suitable treat for those with gluten sensitivities. While their calorie density may not make them ideal for frequent snacking, they serve as an elegant accompaniment to coffee or dessert when enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
