These soft and chewy pistachio amaretti are so festive and make for a wonderful offering during the holiday period when visitors are coming and going. They’re fragrant with citrus and have a beautiful green hue.

They’re wonderful plain, but I like to top them with half a pistachio kernel or, sometimes, half an amarena cherry.

If you don’t have pistachios, you can just use more almond meal to make
regular almond amaretti.
