Natali's Amaretto Cookies

I make these little guys every year at Christmas time. They are expected on both sides of my family, therefore I end up making 4 batches to cater to the demand. There wasn't a recipe like this one on here, so I figured I would share this with you. Part of the fun of making these little treasures is the cook has to make sure the amaretto is up to par... lol
