15 Amaretto Christmas Cookie Recipes (Almond Aroma)

Amaretto Chocolate Chip Cookies

Amaretto Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delightful twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie, infused with a rich almond flavor from amaretto liqueur. This adds a warm, aromatic complexity to the cookie that makes them perfect for holiday gatherings or a cozy night in. With a chewy center and crispy edges, these cookies are guaranteed to become a favorite in your holiday baking repertoire.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that the cookies bake evenly.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside as it will be combined with the wet ingredients later.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it’s light and fluffy—this should take about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: Crack the egg into the bowl with the butter and sugar mixture. Pour in the amaretto liqueur and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be smooth.
6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the dough and place it onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy these delightful Amaretto Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea, or package them as a sweet gift for friends and family.

Amaretto Macarons With Chocolate Ganache

Amaretto Macarons with Chocolate Ganache are sophisticated and delightful French cookies that bring a festive touch to your holiday baking. These little meringue-based treats feature a crisp shell infused with the smooth flavor of amaretto liqueur, while the luscious chocolate ganache filling adds a rich and decadent element. These macarons are perfect for gifting or serving at a special gathering, offering a perfect balance of flavor and texture.

Cooking Steps:

1. Prepare Baking Sheets: Begin by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar. This verifies that the mixture is smooth and free of lumps, which is vital for achieving a perfect macaron shell.
3. Whip Egg Whites: In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they become foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. The mixture should be glossy and hold a stiff peak when the whisk is removed.
4. Add Flavorings: Gently fold in the amaretto liqueur and vanilla extract into the whipped egg whites. Be careful to not deflate the meringue; use a rubber spatula and fold gently until just combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the sifted almond flour and powdered sugar mixture to the meringue. Use gentle folding motions to incorporate the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth and flows like lava. It should form a ribbon when you lift the spatula.
6. Pipe the Macarons: Transfer the macaron batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles (about 1.5 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each one. Tap the baking sheet gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
7. Rest the Macarons: Allow the piped macarons to sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, or until they form a dry shell. You should be able to lightly touch the tops without sticking to your finger.
8. Bake the Macarons: Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. The macaron shells should be firm to the touch and have risen to form a “foot.” Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.
9. Make the Ganache: While the macarons cool, prepare the chocolate ganache by heating the heavy cream in a small pot until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate in a bowl, let it sit for a minute, and then whisk until smooth and glossy. Allow the ganache to cool to room temperature until slightly thickened.
10. Assemble the Macarons: Match up the cooled macaron shells in pairs. Pipe a small amount of chocolate ganache onto the flat side of one macaron and gently press another shell on top to form a sandwich.
11. Let Them Set: Place the assembled macarons in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to improve.
12. Serve: Enjoy your Amaretto Macarons with Chocolate Ganache as an elegant dessert or package them beautifully for holiday gifts.

Almond Amaretto Meringue Cookies

Almond Amaretto Meringue Cookies are light and airy treats that combine the crunchiness of meringue with the delightful almond flavor and the rich essence of amaretto liqueur. These cookies melt in your mouth, making them an elegant addition to any holiday dessert platter. They can be served as a standalone treat or paired with coffee or tea for a cozy experience.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the meringues from sticking.
2. Prepare Mixing Bowl: Make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and dry. Any grease or moisture can prevent the egg whites from whipping to their full potential.

4. Add Granulated Sugar: Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. This process should take about 5 minutes until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
5. Incorporate Almond Extract and Amaretto: Gently fold in the almond extract and amaretto liqueur using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
6. Mix in Powdered Sugar and Cornstarch: Sift the powdered sugar and cornstarch together and then fold them gently into the meringue mixture until just incorporated. Aim for a smooth, slightly glossy consistency.
7. Pipe the Meringues: Transfer the meringue mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip or a large round tip. Pipe small mounds (about 1 inch in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each one.
8. Add Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped almonds on top of each meringue to add a lovely texture and flavor.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the meringues are dry to the touch and can easily be lifted off the parchment paper. They should not be browned.
10. Cool: Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside with the oven door slightly ajar for at least 1 hour, allowing them to cool completely and dry out further.
11. Store: Once cooled, carefully transfer the meringue cookies to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to a week, maintaining their delightful crunch. Enjoy!

9. Prepare Royal Icing: While the cookies cool, prepare the royal icing by combining the powdered sugar and meringue powder in a mixing bowl. Gradually add water, beating until the icing reaches a thick but spreadable consistency. If desired, divide the icing into different bowls and add food coloring to create various colors.
10. Decorate Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, use a piping bag fitted with a small round tip to outline the cookies with royal icing.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the amaretto liqueur and vanilla extract until the ingredients are smoothly combined.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Make sure not to overmix; it’s okay if a few streaks of flour remain.
6. Add White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
7. Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Enjoy: Serve the cookies warm, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors this holiday season!

5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a bit thick.
