These almond infused Amaretti Cookies are a Christmas classic. Made with a handful of simple ingredients, these soft, chewy cookies are totally gluten-free and a holiday staple!
Made with almond flour and almond extract, these sweet, nutty cookies are gluten-free, soft, chewy and the perfect recipe to spread some winter cheer. A gluten-free, almond flavored Italian cookie that can have a texture ranging from soft and chewy to crisp! They’re naturally gluten-free, made with almond flour, sugar and egg white, with a hint of almond extract to amp up the almond flavor. These amaretti cookies are chewy, sticky and sweet. They do contain a fair amount of sugar, but this sugar will caramelize in the oven during the baking process to give us that sticky, sweet, mouthwatering result.
