These cookies take inspiration from Italian amaretti, in particular the Sicilian kind (amaretti al pistachio) and Moroccan ghriba or ghoriba bahla. Both are often enjoyed as an afternoon snack and loved by many. The cookies are soft, chewy, nutty and deliciously sweet, the ideal companion to your cup of tea!

Absolutely delicious! I tried to ignore the pistachio trend, but my partner picked this recipe for my bi-weekly cookie baking. The recipe is way easier than I thought. Only thing that really took time was peeling the pistachios. I will definitely make this to impress other people :)

I wish I could add pictures. These turned out great! And we did not have cornstarch and added rice flour instead. Still great. Nice, chewy and something different!

My god! These cookies are sooo delicious! They are even better than the original ones non vegan. I've added orange blossom water, just because I had to use it somewhere😁 and it added a little something😊
Thank you PUL for one more delicious recipe 🤗🤗

Ahh this sounds absolutely lovely, Olga! Orange blossom water must have added such a fragrant touch ☺️

Hey pickuplimes Team, ist there any substitute for the aquafaba? I want to try these because they look delicious, but I'm allergic to chickpeas. p.s. Love your app.

Aww thank you so much for the kind words, Katrin! We’re so happy you’re enjoying the app 🥰

We haven’t tested this recipe without aquafaba, so we can’t say for sure how it would turn out. You could tryyyy substituting it with a bit of unsweetened applesauce or a flaxseed mixture (2 Tbsp ground flax + 1/3 cup water, left to thicken for a few minutes), but if it works, heads up that the texture will be quite different. If you give it a try, we’d love to hear how it goes ✨

I made them with a flax egg instead of aquafaba and I would say they turned out delicious! I don't know how the consistency compares (especially since it's all almond flour) but I would make it with a flax egg again for sure!

Ooou, thanks for the update, Jude! Glad to hear the cookies turned out with a flax egg ☺️
