Acıbadem kurabiyesi (Turkish:acıbadem kurabiyesi,lit. 'bitter almond biscuit') is a traditionalTurkishbiscuit made ofalmonds, sugar andegg whites.[1] The traditional recipes include a small amount of bitter almonds, which gives this cookie its name. However, because bitter almonds are not readily available, almond extract is typically used as a substitute. These biscuits are part of the stock-in trade of almost everybakery inTurkey and are rarely made at home.[2]
These biscuits have a chewy texture. They are usually served withcoffee orice cream. They are similar to the traditionalItalian amaretto cookie, which also calls for and derives its name from bitter almonds.
