When we lived in London my hubby and I were addicted to amaretti from an Italian restaurant/deli chain there called Carluccio's. Alas when we moved to Australia we couldn't get them anymore so I had to learn how to make them. After lots of trial and error I perfected my recipe over the years, which I wrote up for you. If you like marzipan, you will love these sweet cookies! They have a thin crunchy crust with a soft centre. Tip: don't leave the almond extract out - the cookies will still be yum without it, but the extract takes them to a whole 'nother level. Pin the recipe, and enjoy!
mMMmmmm yummy
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tested and approved recipe, Sedef.
These look easy and impressive, and of course yummy
Happy Christmas
You inspired me to make these for my cookie exchange. They are yummy! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteIs is ok to substitute coconut palm sugar for the castor sugar?
ReplyDeleteI've never tried it - does it have a fine texture like caster sugar? If not, I would just run it through the food processor first so it gets finer. Otherwise you may find it gritty. But I'm sure it will taste fabulous either way! x
