These wonderful cookies are a classic in Italy, where they are often served with a cup of piping hot espresso. This is also one of the easiest recipes you'll find.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Whip the egg whites in an electric mixer using the wire whisk, till soft peaks form.

  3. Add the sugar gradually and continue whipping until stiff.

  4. Gradually fold in the ground almonds with a rubber spatula.

  5. Gently fold in the flour and Amaretto till the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.

  6. Transfer to a pastry bag with a 1/4-inch open star tip. Pipe 1-inch circles onto the cookie sheet, about 1/2 inch apart. Place an almond in the center of each.

  7. Bake for 15 minutes until deep brown with a reddish tinge. Place the cookies on a wire rack till cool. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight jar at room temperature for about 1 week.

Why this Amaretti works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Amaretti that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
