These amaretto biscuits are great after dinner with a digestif or I like to nibble on one with my morning coffee.
They are very moreish to have lying around so, if you are making them as a gift, get them packaged and sealed quickly — or you will be making them a second time.
Ingredients
| 4 | Egg whites |
| 300 g | Caster sugar |
