4 Ingredient Amaretti Cookies

Posted 2017-10-23 by Naomi ⇒ follow

These addictive, delicious and quick to make Italian macaroons are a great treat or gift. They taste scrumptious as is, or can be jazzed up with blanched almonds or glazed cherries pushed into the centre before baking.

They are gluten and lactose free. The only problem is trying to stop at one!
