Soft Amaretti Cookies

Soft Amaretti Cookies are some of my favorites. Way back when I worked in Lake Charles, there was a bakery way too close to our office and they made these cookies. I loved them and stopped by there way too often. I started making them myself but then stopped. I don’t remember when or why I stopped making them but a year or so ago, a neighbor who knows I love to cook, came by and gave me two amaretti cookies she gets when she’s in St. Louis and she wanted me to see if I could come up with a recipe.

This is the recipe I have decided is the best. It was a hard job but I have tried several recipes several times. I let mine get just a tad dark because I like mine more crunchy on the outside.

I also like these better the next day than I do the day they’re freshly made.

I’ve tried more than a few brands of almond flour. My favorite is Hoosier Hills Ultra Fine Blanched Almond Flour and it seems to be impossible to find at this time. When what I have here is gone, I’m going to try this one from Sam’s Club.

I think that brand is available most places.

So, if you like amaretti cookies, this recipe is a good one.
