Melt-In-Your-Mouth Italian Lemon / Limoncello Amaretti - Almond Cookies (e87)
Buon giorno a tutti. In this episode, Nonna Mia, la nonna di tutti - (everybody's grandma), bakes up an incredibly easy, but absolutely delicious, gluten-free, almond-based cookie, referred to as amaretti. There aren't many ingredients and the process is rather simple. You and your family are going to love these!
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of almond flour (about a pound)
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 3 egg whites
- tsp of lemon juice or limoncello
- zest from 2 lemons (about 3 TBSP)
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- icing (powdered) sugar for rolling the cookies
- granulated sugar for rolling the cookies
In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. In a standing mixer, or using an electric hand mixer, whip up the egg whites until soft peaks form. Blend the egg whites with the dry ingredients, adding in the lemon juice and or limoncello. The consistency should be dense and form a ball when you scrunch your palm.
Using water on your palm to reduce stickiness, begin rolling consistently-sized, small balls, then roll through the granulated sugar and finally through the powdered sugar. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
Preheat oven to 325 F and bake for about 15 minutes. Place on a cooling rack. YIELD: 36
Pour yourself an espresso, and enjoy! Buon appetito!

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!

Italian Almond Cookies with Maraschino Cherries | Sicilian Pastry (ONLY 3 INGREDIENTS)
Here in Sicily, these almond cookies are super popular! I would safely say that almost every pastry shop carries them. It was so much fun to re-create such a traditional sweet that I’ve seen for years in bakery shops since I was a kid.
These almond pastries are super easy to make and you only need 3 main ingredients. They are soft and chewy and a great dessert idea.
RECIPE:
250 g peeled almonds (1 cup + 1/3 cup + 1/3 cup)
150 g powdered sugar (about 1 cup)
2 egg whites
Maraschino cherries (about 15 cherries)
1 g Vanillin or 1 tsp vanilla paste (optional)
Lemon zest to your taste (optional)
