Italian Amaretti Cookies Recipe | Traditional Vintage Recipe



My father was Italian and we often had Italian Amaretti Cookies around the holidays. They are a delicious cookie made with almonds and go perfectly with a nice hot cup of coffee, tea, or cocoa. They are easy to make and this traditional vintage recipe only requires 5 ingredients. They are gluten free and grain free. You can also add some Christmas sprinkles to the tops of the cookies before baking them to add some festive color.

  1. Cute! Those look very similar to almond macaroons. Yum. Vlogmas is over for this year and you did an outstanding job!
    🎄Merry Christmas Grandma & Grandpa!🎄❤️

  2. Hi Grandma! I would like these I think. My father was Italian and on Christmas eve his mother ( my grandmother ) would make pizzelle cookies and she sent them down and during dinner my dad would pass them around the table. As a child I did not care for them but now I appreciate them when I can find them. I did not find them or my ribbon candy this year. Grandpa that’s very sporting of you to dress up! Nice job ! Brian

  3. Merry Christmas to both of you there! Enjoyed this video and I'm going to be making these. They sound delicious!
    Love the Santa suit <3

  4. I'm italian. My mother and grandmother use to make the italian anise cookies with the anise frosting colored green and red with colored sugar on them. They were delicious and festive. The amaretti cookies look scrumptious. Unfortunately I am allergic to almonds and can't eat them but sure wish I could. Merry Christmas Grandma and Grandpa Feral.

  5. Grandma, your father was Italian 🇮🇹 ? No way! 😂😉 I’m definitely making those

  6. Amazing how Santa’s voice sounds just like grandpas?😂 Lucky Santa gets to eat the delicious cookies! Good job grandma!😁🎁🍪🍪🍪🍪☕️🎄💜

  7. The very merriest of Christmases to you and Grandpa, dear Grandma Feral, and all things joyous, peaceful and wonderful to you, your loving daughter and all of the kittehs. I want to thank you for posting this recipe, which is very similar to one my late mother (herself of northern Italian descent, FTR) used to bake at Christmas time, but which I'd lost after she died: you gave me back a simple, elegant way to recreate a favorite cookie and enjoy so many wonderful memories in the bargain, and that's one of the best Christmas gifts I've ever received. Merry Christmas, and never forget how much you and Grandpa are loved.

  8. Grandma Feral, This looks like one I will make. I need some almond extract and then I can make this recipe after Christmas (it is late Christmas Eve right now)! I made the traditional ginger cookie recipe you posted and it is great! I made that last week and gave some as a present to my nephew. Since they have molasses in them, maybe the iron will encourage him to do his laundry. Have a wonderful day to you and Grandpa Feral!

  9. Merry Christmas Grandma and Grandpa! And Santa, you better get moving-lots of deliveries to make tonight!

  10. Grandpa is the cutest! Merry Christmas Grandma and Grandpa! I hope your holiday is the most joyful ever! 💗🎄☃️

  11. Well, Grandma, that's one cookie my friend didn't make for the Christmas Eve party this year. She lost count; I think it was around 17 different varieties. I'll be well-stocked now with cookies probably through springtime!😂
    I've truly enjoyed your Vlogmas this year and looking forward to the daily episodes. It must have been a strain, on top of all the usual things that need to happen at this time of year, so I hope you realize how much we all appreciate you and Grandpa and LF. Stay warm in this weather, Santa, too, of course — hope he wore an extra layer on his trip tonight, it's still really cold out there. (I've been letting the yard cat inside these past couple nights, despite all the territorial, safety, and other issues it causes.) A very Merry Christmas to all the Feral family, both human and feline, and, if I don't have a chance beforehand, my best wishes for a wonderful New Year!

  12. Oh Grandma..these look divine! 🤤 I'm drooling again! 😁 Since Santa recommends them too…I better try them!! 😂 ThankQ for your vlogmas day vids this year! All of them were kickass! 🤠😋 Merry Christmas to both of you! 🎄🎁🎈🎈 Hugs to Mrs Claus and Santa!! Dont work too hard tonight, Santa! 😝😂

  13. Yummy cookies love and a Merry Christmas to you and Grandpa and the kitties 🎄🎅🤶❤,I love the egg beater, I remember my Grandma using one, I love the Santa suit Grandpa 💌
