Acıbadem kurabiyesi (Turkish: acıbadem kurabiyesi bitter almond biscuit) is a traditional Turkish biscuit made of almonds sugar and egg whites. The traditional recipes include a small amount of bitter almonds which gives this cookie its name. Because bitter almonds are not readily available almond extract is typically used as a substitute. These biscuits are part of the stock-in trade of almost every bakery in Turkey and they are seldom made at home.These biscuits have a chewy texture.
