With such a strong almond-like flavor, it makes sense to think that authentic Italian amaretti cookies are made with almonds.

I often double (or triple) the recipe for this topping and freeze the leftover in a zippered plastic bag. That way, I have some on hand and can bake up a crisp at a moment’s notice.
