Tips to make the best Sicilian pistachio amaretti – If you prefer to use just almond flour and do not have pistachios, feel free to do that. – I used lightly salted and roasted pistachios (you could use unsalted, as well). – If you can find pistachio flour, go ahead and use that. – The dough could be made ahead and chilled. Bring it to room temperature while the oven heats up before rolling and baking. – Pulse the pistachio to a fine flour, keeping some texture (be sure to not pulse it into a pistachio paste).
Can I make amaretti cookies by hand? Yes, you could make the entire recipe by hand. Although, whipping the egg whites separately does make the cookies fluffier.
Can I freeze pistachio cookies? Yes, these cookies freeze very well. Just like the almond only amaretti, these almond and pistachio amaretti can be baked ahead of time for the holidays.
