What are amaretti biscuits?

‍

In Dutch we know these cookies as ‘bitterkoekjes’ which literally translates to bitter cookies. Amaretti biscuits are light, fluffy and chewy almond biscuits that get their distinctive bitter taste from almond extract. It’s a MUST in this recipe!

‍

You can kind of compare amaretti biscuits with an almond flavoured macaron, yet these are so so so much easier than macarons.

‍

Another plus is that these cookies are origingally gluten free! As an extra variation on the classic cookie, you could dip them in melted chocolate and then in coconut or leave them as is. Even though these beauties are already delicious on their own.
