Italian Amaretti Cookies

First, let's analyze the word "amaretto", which is a derivative of the adjective "amaro" meaning "bitter". Amaretto is translatable as "the small bitter one".

They are called like this because they are some sort of Italian bittersweet macaroons made with almond paste, sugar, egg white, almonds and apricot kernel.

The original recipe of the amaretti was born in the Middle Ages.

There are two main versions of the amaretti cookies:

Amaretti di Saronno, typical of the city of Saronno in Lombardy. They are crunchy and made with apricot kernels, sugar and egg whites (pic nr.1);

Amaretti di Sassello, typical of the city of Sassello in Liguria. These cookies are soft and made with sugar, almonds, egg whites and apricot kernels (pic nr.2).

Related Vocabulary:

Amaro (adjective) = bitter

Dolce-amaro (adjective) = bittersweet

Il biscotto ( pl. form: i biscotti) = cookie

Biscotto croccante = crunchy cookie

Biscotto morbido/soffice = soft cookie

La mandorla ( pl. le mandorle) = almond

La pasta di mandorle = almond paste.

My Birthday Cake

From Ferrara's website: Ferrara’s specialty tiramisu features homemade Savoiardi (Ladyfinger cookies) that they douse with espresso & coffee liqueur and layer with sweet mascarpone. Ferrara is one of New York's most iconic shops and its first Italian Bakery, founded in 1892 in Little Italy. As America's first Pasticceria and espresso bar, it was only natural that people came primarily for the coffee, cookies and cakes, and despite the many changes in the neighborhood over the decades, their offerings are still wowing everyone who walks through the door, instantly transporting them to Southern Italy.

They have been featured on the Food Network's "Best Things I Ever Ate," The New York Times, New York Magazine and just about every media outlet imaginable.
