About Italian jam cookies

Italian Jam Cookies, also known as "Pasta Frolla Biscotti con Marmellata," are a delightful treat rooted in traditional Italian baking. These cookies are crafted from a rich, buttery shortbread dough made with simple ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, and eggs, combined to create a tender cookie base. The star of the show is the sweet jam filling, often made from fruit preserves like raspberry, apricot, or fig, adding a colorful burst of flavor. Though indulgent, these cookies offer a dose of real fruit in the jam, providing natural sweetness and some vitamins. However, their buttery dough is high in calories and saturated fats, so moderation is key. Perfect for festive occasions or paired with coffee, these cookies capture the essence of Italian cuisine with their balance of simplicity and flavor. Be mindful of portion sizes to enjoy their charm as part of a balanced diet.
