Amaretto cookies are delightful, bite-sized treats originating from Italy, often associated with its rich tradition of almond-based confections. These cookies are typically made from a blend of almond flour or ground almonds, egg whites, and sugar, along with a touch of amaretto liqueur or almond extract for their signature flavor. Light and crisp on the outside with a chewy center, they are naturally gluten-free due to their almond base. Almonds provide healthy fats, vitamin E, and fiber, making these cookies a slightly better indulgence compared to traditional wheat-based options. However, they can be high in sugar, contributing to added calories, so moderation is key. Perfect as a snack, dessert pairing, or coffee companion, amaretto cookies offer a unique combination of simplicity and sophistication, showcasing the essence of Italian culinary heritage.
