Have You Tried These?

Oh you must~:)



Oh they are absolutely delicious little tender delicacies..I am enamored with them..



It's no secret I like Amarettis..I made some..
And there is a delicious carrot cake made with the ones I am used to..
But these are Fairy Fairy Fairy good..


And the tin could not be any prettier~
My friend Jain sent these to me and they are my new addiction..
The fairies have something to do with it as you know my love of Fairies..but in essence..the cookie is also the star..


Thank you Jain..they are sinfully delicious..Amorettis.
That's Amore~♥

If ANYONE reading has the recipe for soft amorettis..w/ hints of candied peel..so that they taste just like these..please let me know:)
The fairieswould be very pleased.

    Shoehorning into my pants has become an integral part of my life since I started coming here.

    And while the amaretti looks fairy good, I would almost hate to tear into the pretty packaging to get to them.
    But I promise to be gentle.

    Hi Monique,
    I haven't had the cookies for years. Your photos are a dream and really have that magical feel. I will have to ask my husband to make some for me over the holidays. Carrot cake sounds delicious too. Have a happy week, just love the fairies and the light feeling they put in my heart!

    The wrappers surrounding these are out of this world. Just displaying them would be a delight alone!

    J'en ramène à chaque fois que je vais faire mon marché en Italie ... Cela dit, c'est vrai que ce n'est pas très dur de les faire mais j'aime tellement les avoir joliment emballés, à la mode italienne ... Vraiment délicieux, et tu as su les mettre merveilleusement en valeur dans tes photos ...
    Bises et bonne journée

    Ils sont vraiment..parfaits..

    I hope you do find them.. and yes the tin is so special..It will store treasures:)
    My recipe makes hard ones..I wonder if the addition of the tiny confits fruits make these moister?

    Amoretti cookies are soooo good and having each one wrapped like a present makes me savor it even more. How thoughtful of Jain to send the perfect gift to you.

    I'll be on the lookout for a recipe :-)
