Join A Secret Italy
A really simple and 100% authenticItalian cookies recipe that only takes around thirty minutes to prepare, thisrecipe is much loved in the Veneto but it is also common elsewhere inItaly.
These "Venice cookies" offer a wonderful balance of flavors, with the citrusy tang of orange juice complementing the richness of butter and the subtle sweetness of sugar.
Whether enjoyed alongside a cup of coffee or shared with loved ones during special occasions, these Veneto-inspired cookies are sure to impress your friends and family.
Buon appetito!
Maria's Note: Almonds are often not added in theVeneto (for more on this region click here)but I would suggest you use them if possible. In my opinion they make the recipe that much tastier.
