These salted chocolate amaretti are my go to when I want something impressive but don't have all day. Ground almonds give them a naturally nutty flavor and provide protein to keep you satisfied, which beats store bought cookies every time. The best part is they come together in just 45 minutes from start to finish, and you probably have most of the ingredients sitting in your pantry right now. That perfect balance of sweet chocolate and flaky sea salt on top makes them utterly addictive, trust me.
