My first encounter with these darling little treats was while watching Everyday Italian on the Food Network starring Giada De Laurentiis, my favorite chef of the past few years. She crumbled them into deserts, coffees, made pumpkin ravioli with it, baked amaretti apples and always praised their magical taste. Upon finally purchasing a box myself I was blown away by the hypnotic and addictive taste of marzipan in these little gems.Amaretti Cookies are packed as a pair, wrapped in wax paper with Italian writing and insignias, praising its originality. They are two small crackling cookies per wrapper and they are a crunchy shell of delight. The taste is strangely addictive, after having a few I couldn't stop thinking about them! I have even purchased three more boxes two days after getting the first one. They taste like the holidays, spicy and lusciously laden with almonds and crispy sugary goodness with a tiny tang of bitterness of the almond. They flavor is royal and time stopping, on busy days, one bite of this cookie and I am transfixed into magical fields of luxurious old world taste that has been popular to Italians for years.
Incredibly aromatic crispy almond cookies that are a luscious addiction to coffee, tea or wine and are great for cooking and baking with. They really grew on me, I think I am an addict to their taste now, no wonder Giada is so smitten with them!

The cookies inside are the full size Amaretti Di Saronno cookies, wrapped in pairs in the crinkly parchment paper. (These are not the small "Amarettini" cookies with the "-ini" at the end. Those come in the "tall" tin.)
Absolutely love these cookies. They are delicious with red wine. We get some each year during the Holiday season. Year after year, these are delicious as ever.
I cannot comment on whether it is still possible to light the wrappers on fire (a complaint in other reviews). I have not tried this since I was 15 years old, which was a LONG time ago.

These Amaretti are the perfect balance of crunchy and chewy, sweet and bitter. If you are using Amaretti in a recipe, then any brand would be fine, but if you are serving them plain, spring for the Lazzaroni because they have the best taste and texture.Read Best Reviews of Lazzaroni Amaretti di Saronno Here

Want Lazzaroni Amaretti di Saronno Discount?
I've loved these flavorful almond flavored (apricot seed) aromatic cookies for decades. These inimitable Lazzaroni treats are delicious with tea, coffee, or alone, in cold weather or hot. They imbue an extra bit of pleasure to viewing the abundant delights of Two Fat Ladies enjoying life and food with humor and gusto. The attractive Italian tin happens to be a very useful decorative object for goody-storage. We appreciate that these cookies ship well even in hot weather, and they arrive unbroken, protected by the tin. When you open the lid, a scent like amaretto liqueur wafts up. Enjoy!
