Amaretti Almond Flavour Italian Soft Cookies,145g

A beloved Italian delight, Lazzaroni Amaretti cookies were first created in 1718. Since 1718 Amaretti cookies are famous for their unique almond flavor and unmistakable texture. The story goes that at least three centuries ago the Cardinal of Milan unexpectedly visited the town of Saronno. Two young lovers, to honour him, concocted in a rush a mixture of sugar, apricot kernels and egg white, cooking it in the oven and obtaining sultry round cookies. These cookies featured at the same time the bitter sweet taste of almonds and sugar, hence the two called them Amaretti. Since then almost nothing has changed: the original recipe, the quality of the ingredients and the slow cooking contribute altogether to deliver the full pleasure of the authentic Amaretti di Saronno, whose uniqueness made them the flagship of Lazzaroni specialties. Soft Amaretti Cookies are a moist & chewy classic Italian cookie. This recipe has been tested until perfect making it the best ever gluten free recipe for amaretti. That perfect smooth texture and those pretty cracks on the surface of these chewy amaretti cookies depend on incorporating exactly the right amount of egg whites into the ground almond mixture. With their softness, they are a delicious moment of kindness. These small domed-shaped cookies are crisp and crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Lazzaroni Amaretti di Saronno are decorated with grains of sugar, wrapped in the famous tasselled tissue paper and contained in the original red & green window box.
