These amaretto lace cookies are one of those VERY traditional Italian cookie recipes. There are two ways to make amaretto lace cookies.
One is the traditional way where they are rolled like jelly rolls. The other way is less traditional, but more like a cookie. You just add extra flour and those substitutions are listed below.
Amaretto is an Italian liqueur which most people describe tastes likee sweet almonds, although there are no almonds in it. One thing I always say to folks - if you are hesitant about buying a bottle of amaretto because of the price - don't be! I can keep you well supplied with things to do with it. It won't get dusty on your shelf. Check out my whole section of amaretto recipes.

Yes there are no other liqueurs to substitute for this, hence the name amaretto in the title (not rum cookies, not brandy cookies, not bourbon cookies..).
Yes that would actually be my choice. But my grandmother's friends recipe called for pecans. So, I posted it the way they make these. But walnuts would be just fine. (Just not English or black walnuts)
