I love Italian sweets over everything. But I do realize how much sugar is hiding inside. That's why although traditional Italian cuisine is my favourite one, I need to be careful about how much of it I take in on a regular basis. And I definitely cannot resist a soft almond taste of these tiny amaretti biscuits sometimes. So here is my low sugar version. Let's get onto it!

Butter for greasing the baking tray
Stevia powder for dusting if you like
Optional:
Mascarpone
Procedure:
- First, preheat the oven to 165ºC.
- Grease the baking tray with some butter.
