Amygdalotá

These delicate Greek cookies are prepared with ground almonds, egg whites, sugar, and various flavorings such as orange blossom water, liqueurs, or vanilla. Usually decorated with almonds or almond slivers, they come in different forms and are occasionally coupled with pastry creams.

Amygdalotá cookies are traditionally baked and enjoyed on special occasions and are often given as presents on christenings and weddings.
