Bitterkoekjes are typical Dutch cookies. In Italy, you have similar cookies called amaretti, but they are often harder than the Dutch version.
This is such an easy recipe. And I’ve been baking and eating them a lot lately. T
his is not a really good thing, ’cause I need to focus on my training and sugar intake (and one of those things isn’t going the way I want it to be).
Anyways, it takes less than 30 minutes to prep these little macaroons.
So last-minute coffee dates or stay-at-home reading sessions become much sweeter with these little cuties 😋🍪.
