These Amaretti cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor. I won't be making them again.

I'm allergic to almonds, so I made these cookies with almond extract instead. They turned out great! I couldn't tell the difference.

These Amaretti cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have used too much flour. Next time, I will use a little less flour.

My Amaretti cookies didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I might have overbaked them. Next time, I will bake them for a few minutes less.

I had some trouble finding almond extract at my local grocery store. I ended up using vanilla extract instead. The cookies still turned out great! They had a delicious vanilla flavor.

These Amaretti cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have enjoyed them more if they had been less sweet. Other than that, they were delicious. I loved the crispy exterior and the chewy interior.
