Acıbadem kurabiyesi ( Turkish : acıbadem kurabiyesi , lit. ' bitter almond biscuit ' ) is a traditional Turkish biscuit made of almonds , sugar and egg 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 every bakery in Turkey , and are seldom made at home.
These biscuits have a chewy texture. They are usually served with coffee or ice cream . They are very similar to the traditional Italian amaretto cookie, which also calls for, and derives its name from, bitter almonds.
