\nWhat does Romance have in common with Almonds? In Ancient Rome, the tradition of giving almonds as favors to guests began. The almonds were coated with honey since sugar cane was not yet known at that time.
\nThe traditional Italian amaretti \u00a0cookies are\u00a0based mainly on\u00a0almonds and are\u00a0so delicious and \u00a0worth\u00a0 not missing the taste experience, so I have created a recipe for those that have to eat gluten free. But they are so delicious anyone will love them. The traditioal amaretti cookie is made with lots of almonds which \u00a0provide loads of health benefits.\u00a0Crush them and\u00a0 they make\u00a0 an excellent \u00a0topping for ice cream or\u00a0mix with a little butter and use as a tasty, gluten free pie crust.
