The Finer Cookie:
Sour Cherry Amaretti

Authentic, hand-rolled Italian delights

By Kimberlie Robert

This recipe is so quick and delivers so much flavor, you’ll hardly believe it’s so simple. Once they are in the oven, the lemon becomes fragrant and the sweet almond permeates the house. Resist the urge to make the cookies perfect by rolling them or using a tiny scoop. The charm of this recipe is in the ease and the hand-made look. Sweet-sour, lemon-chewy, almond-scented, crispy shell and chewy center — delicious!
