I'm not a big fan of amaretto liqueur, so I used vanilla extract instead. The cookies still tasted great.

I'm allergic to almonds, so I substituted almond flour with oat flour. The cookies still turned out great!

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try making them again and see if I can get them right.

I've tried many amaretti recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft, chewy, and full of almond flavor.
