Amaretti are traditional Italian cookies known for their crisp texture and delicate almond flavor. Originating from Italy, these cookies are typically made with almond flour or finely ground almonds, egg whites, and sugar. Some recipes also include a hint of almond extract or apricot kernel for enhanced flavor. Gluten-free by nature, amaretti can be an appealing option for those avoiding wheat products. While they are relatively light and airy, they do contain a notable amount of sugar, making them a treat best enjoyed in moderation. Almonds provide a source of healthy fats, protein, and vitamin E, contributing some nutritional benefits. However, amaretti cookies are largely considered a dessert item and are best appreciated as an occasional indulgence rather than a daily snack. Pair them with tea or coffee for a classic Italian experience!
