Since the war in Ukraine started, I started spending most of my time in Sanremo, Italy, where my family and friends moved. Here, I especially take pleasure in  doing one unusual thing – each time, when entering the coffee shops, I look at the showcases full of  all  kinds of cookies. There are literal mountains of cookies in one small space. Since I first saw this rich variety of Italian cookies in one cozy coffee shop, I had a big desire to gather their recipes all in one book, so that the whole world might try the authentic Italian cookies, enjoy their true taste and shape. Feel the robust aromas of crumbly Coffee Cookies, savor the mix of zesty orange and rich chocolate in Ritornelli or enjoy the nutty crunch of Hazelnut Crumble Cookies – every recipe you make and every batch you bake will bring joy to you and those around you. Have you ever delighted in the simple pleasure of making Coconut Cookies? They are some of the easiest to prepare, yet they reward you with their moist, tender texture and a rich burst of coconut flavor. Or try the crisp, satisfying crunch of Biscotti, an iconic treat perfect for dipping into your morning coffee or enjoying with a glass of wine in the evening. Indulge in rich and flavorful Baci di Alassio. While they take some time to make, they are absolutely worth the effort. When you bite into the creamy ganache through the tender hazelnut cookie, everything else fades away. Imagine the smiles and the grateful expressions as you share the Pignoli Cookies, a beloved pine nut treat from Sicily, or the amazed faces as you present Pistachio Flower Cookies – airy pistachio cream sandwiched between delicate shortcrust cookies, all beautifully shaped into flowers. This collection ranges from obscenely easy recipes to those that will perfect your baking skills with, all laid out with clear, detailed instructions. Even if you are new to baking, our step-by-step format will ensure you enjoy both the process and the scrumptious results. So why wait? Preheat your oven and let’s bake a delicious batch of traditional Italian cookies today!
