About Italian cookies

Italian cookies, rooted in the traditions of Italian cuisine, offer a delightful blend of flavors and textures. Often crafted with ingredients like almond flour, pistachios, lemon zest, and anise seeds, they come in various forms such as biscotti, amaretti, and ricciarelli. These cookies commonly feature natural flavors and are sweetened with sugar or honey, though some recipes may include butter or eggs for richness. While their use of nuts provides healthy fats and a dose of protein, many Italian cookies are high in sugar, making moderation essential. Traditional versions typically avoid artificial additives, emphasizing the pure, simple flavors of Italy. Perfect with espresso or tea, they satisfy cravings with a taste of authentic European craftsmanship while offering a glimpse into regional heritage.
