Italian Ricciarelli (gluten Free and Low Sugar)
Italian Ricciarelli cookies are a traditional Italian almond-based confection, originating from Siena, Tuscany. They are made primarily with ground almonds, sugar and egg whites and are often compared to the French macaron. Ricciarelli are known for their delicate, slightly crunchy exterior, which contrasts with their soft, almost marzipan-like interior. These cookies are subtly flavored with hints of orange or lemon zest and a touch of vanilla or almond extract. Ricciarelli cookies are typically enjoyed during the holiday season, especially around Christmas, but their light texture and rich flavor make them a popular treat year-round. Their refined sweetness and almond flavor make them a beloved classic in Italian pastry culture.
