If you like French macarons, you might like this take on Italian amaretti cookies. Soft, pillowy, moist, sweet, and lightly scented with amaretto liqueur as well as citrus zests, amaretti is in my top 10 cookies of all time. 

I encountered many almond-based cookies in Spain, where hunting for cookies crafted by nuns in corners of convents became the highlight of my trip. These are in that same family of cookies: fragrant, lightly nutty, rich but angelic. 

Roll them in sugar before baking for an extra crunch in each bite, or leave them plain—either way, let them bless your lips this holiday season. And if you're looking for more ideas to cook up this holiday season, it's time to buckle down and watch the outrageous feast I whipped up with a $100 budget.
