Amaretti Cookies
Report
With a crispy exterior and soft interior, these Italian almond flavored Amaretti Cookies are perfect for your holiday celebration! There are many variations of this recipe, and most have been passed from generation to generation. This is my favorite version and just happens to be super simple and naturally gluten free too!
