About Amaretti biscuits

Amaretti are Italian biscuits typically made with almonds or almond-derived ingredients, sugar and egg white. They are eaten on their own and are also crumbled into desserts or used as an ingredient in sweet preparations. Recipes and regional styles vary, so the name does not imply one exact formulation.

They are commonly small and rounded, with a surface that may be crisp and an interior that ranges from chewy to dry and crunchy. Some versions are delicate and brittle, while others are softer. Packaged biscuits, bakery-made amaretti and homemade recipes can differ in ingredients, moisture and texture.
