You NEED to bake a batch of these Amaretti Cookies!
My Chewy Amaretti Cookies are crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside, these Italian almond flavoured biscuits make a great gluten-free nibble to go with your afternoon coffee.
I have been making these almond biscuits for years and they are one of the most popular recipes on our site!
Full Amaretti cookie recipe here:
Ingredients:
3 egg whites from large eggs (about 90g of egg white altogether)
3 cups (280g) ground almonds
1 1/2 cups minus 1 tbsp (280g) caster sugar (superfine sugar)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp Amaretto liqueur
For rolling:
2 heaped tbsp caster sugar (superfine sugar)
2 heaped tbsp icing/powdered sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 170C/325F. Line two baking trays with a silicone mat or baking parchment.
2. Using a hand whisk or mixer, whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks.
3. Fold in the ground almonds, caster sugar and vanilla extract.
4. Slowly stir in the amaretto. Add just enough so that the mixture is a thick paste that can be formed into a ball in your hand (it should be very sticky though).
5. Place the caster sugar and icing sugar for rolling on two separate plates. Using a teaspoon, scoop out a chunk of the cookie mixture and roll it into a ball in your hands (about the size of a walnut - note, it will be sticky). Roll it in the caster sugar, then roll it in the icing sugar and place on the baking tray.
6. Repeat with the remaining dough until you've used it all up. Leave a bit of space between the cookie balls as they will expand slightly during cooking.
7. Use your finger to squash the cookie balls a little (they will crack a little at the edges - that's fine).
8. Then place in the oven to cook for 15 minutes.
9. Take out of the oven, leave to cool for 5 minutes then remove from the baking tray. You can serve them warm, or allow them to cool completely on a cooling rack.

4 Ingredient Amaretti cookies — without the Amaretto but just as good. Possibly one of my favourite cookie recipe in the world. I love it more than a chocolate chip, more than oatmeal cookies, more than gingerbread cookies and more than sugar cookies. They are crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Not the healthiest cookie as it has sugar but it does not have egg yolks, milk, butter, or traditional flour in it so it is definitely a lot cleaner than the rest. This recipe makes 16 cookies so feel free to double it. You will need:
Ingredients:
2.5 cups blanched almond flour — 250 grams
1/2 cup granulated sugar — 100 grams
1/2 cup egg-whites (200ml) I separated 4 large eggs
1 teaspoons pure almond extract or pure vanilla if you don’t like it
**Please Note- additional ingredients after the cookie is shaped are: powdered sugar for rolling our cookie, whole raw almonds, or crushed almond slices. I have not tried this recipe with coconut flour so please experiment as it should totally work. I have not tried using egg-whites from a carton I always separate my egg-white from whole eggs
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350F. In a bowl, mix the almond flour and sugar and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg-whites until they are white and foamy for about 1-2 minutes. Now add in your almond extract ( or Amaretto ) and whisk for a few seconds.
Add your egg-white mixture into your dry ingredients.
Incorporate with a spatula or switch to using your hands if you have a hard time.
Incorporate everything until you have a nice sticky dough.
Once you have a sticky dough you can roll each cookie into balls — take a measuring spoon or small ice-cream scoop and scoop the dough into your hands and roll them.
Dip each cookie ball into powdered sugar and place them on your baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Flatten each cookie gently with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
You can also roll them into a ball and then roll into a thick short rope and make a half moon shape and dip in crushed almond slices and then add powdered sugar on top.
You can also make half moons and leave them plain as well. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until light golden bottoms.
Let them cool and place them in a glass Tupperware as they will be delicious even 2-3 days before Christmas.
Enjoy and share with your loved ones
-HAPPY EATING-

AMARETTI BISCUITS | How to Make Almond Amaretti Cookies
INGREDIENTS:
500g/5.2 cups Almond Meal
300g/1.33 cups caster sugar
5 egg whites (Use free range eggs that are room temperature)
1 x bottle almond essence (1.07 Oz)
Bowl of icing sugar (plus extra for dusting!)
UTENSILS:
1 x Large mixing bowl
1 x Medium mixing bowl
Whisk
Teaspoon
Baking tray
Baking paper
METHOD:
1. To start making your Italian amaretti biscuits, separate 5 egg whites from the yolk into a medium mixing bowl and whisk them well.
2. Once there are lots of bubbles at the top of the egg whites, add the almond essence and whisk gently once again so it completely infuses them.
3. Mix the almond meal and caster sugar together in a separate bowl until the sugar seems to disappear.
4. Next for your amaretti biscotti, pour the egg white mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix through using a large spoon.
5. Once this has all started to bind, use your hands to combine everything even more and make sure that everything mixes really well together, still keeping it all inside the large bowl.
6. Don’t try and make it into a ball, just squeeze down with your hands so it stays ???
NONNA MARIA’S TIP: If you feel the mixture is too wet and sticky, you might need to add some extra almond meal.
7. Now you can let the amaretti mixture rest for an hour (or overnight in the fridge).
8. If you’re making them on the same day, wash your hands, and once this has had time to rest, get ready to roll!
9. When it’s time to make the amaretti biscotti, prepare a large flat baking tray by spreading baking paper on top and pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees celcius/356 F.
10. Using a tea spoon, scoop up a heaped amount of mixture, roll it around using the palm of your hand, and make it into a ball.
NONNA MARIA’S TIP: If your hands are getting too sticky to roll the amaretti, get a bowl and place some water inside, them dip a finger into it, spreading it on to both palms to help smoothen the process.
11. Place the ball gently into a bowl of icing sugar and repeat until the bowl is almost full.
12. Roll each amaretti ball around in icing sugar and then gently place it on the baking tray.
13. Line the balls up, making sure you don’t place them too close together.
14. Once the tray is completely full, with enough space in between each one, flatten out your hand, and press down gently onto each ball making the surface flat. This will create some cracks and provide the perfect form for your amaretti biscotti!
15. Dust with one more sprinkle of icing sugar all over before placing them in the oven for approx. 15 minutes – but check them after about 12 minutes as all ovens vary!
HOW TO SERVE
Leave the amaretti to cool or enjoy nice and warm with a cup of tea, coffee or hot cocoa!
