'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.

These biscuits are part of the stock-in trade of almost every bakery in Turkey and are seldom made at home.

They are very similar to the traditional Italian amaretto cookie, which also calls for and derives its name from bitter almonds.
