They are also perfect when you want something sweet after a meal. They are a delicacy to be savoured; soft on the inside and coated liberally with icing sugar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-1 wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=547\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"646\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/magento.local\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AMARETTI-SICILIANI-3-1-1024x646.jpg\" alt=\"a plate of Sicilian amaretti biscuits\" data-id=\"547\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/magento.local\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AMARETTI-SICILIANI-3-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=547\" class=\"wp-image-547 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AMARETTI-SICILIANI-3-1-1024x646.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AMARETTI-SICILIANI-3-1-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AMARETTI-SICILIANI-3-1-768x485.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AMARETTI-SICILIANI-3-1-1536x970.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AMARETTI-SICILIANI-3-1-2048x1293.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AMARETTI-SICILIANI-3-1-2000x1263.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AMARETTI-SICILIANI-3-1-450x284.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AMARETTI-SICILIANI-3-1-225x142.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AMARETTI-SICILIANI-3-1-900x568.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AMARETTI-SICILIANI-3-1-1350x852.jpg 1350w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AMARETTI-SICILIANI-3-1-20x13.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\"><br>Amaretti Siciliani<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The term Amaretti derives from the word \u2018amaro\u2019 meaning bitter, which comes from the almonds called Armelline. My traditional recipe for these amaretti biscuits comes from the beautiful island of Sicily.&nbsp; The bitter almonds are optional but if you can get hold of them do, it will really make a difference. Bitter almonds are the essence of a true Sicilian amaretti biscuit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have made these Amaretti they will keep for around five days in an air-tight container. I think they make a lovely present, especially for Christmas. I put them in a little bag tied with ribbon and often give them as gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-3 wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"722\" height=\"1024\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/magento.local\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Image-30-11-2020-at-13.08-1-1-1-722x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Sara Danesin making amaretti biscuits\" data-id=\"620\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/magento.local\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Image-30-11-2020-at-13.08-1-1-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=620\" class=\"wp-image-620 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Image-30-11-2020-at-13.08-1-1-1-722x1024.jpg 722w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Image-30-11-2020-at-13.08-1-1-1-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Image-30-11-2020-at-13.08-1-1-1-768x1089.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Image-30-11-2020-at-13.08-1-1-1-450x638.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Image-30-11-2020-at-13.08-1-1-1-225x319.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Image-30-11-2020-at-13.08-1-1-1-20x28.jpg 20w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Image-30-11-2020-at-13.08-1-1-1.jpg 846w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Chef Sara making her biscuits<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/magento.local\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image003-1.png\" alt=\"A tray of amaretti sicliani\" data-id=\"631\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/magento.local\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image003-1.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=631\" class=\"wp-image-631 lazyload\"\/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Amaretti Siciliani all cooked and ready to eat!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Amaretti Siciliani are super easy to make, so do have a go and enjoy something delicious, authentic and a bit different with your morning coffee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll be going Live on Instagram on 17th December at 5:30pm with Cookaway team member Hannah and together we&#8217;ll be demonstrating how to make these delicious biscuits.
