Papassinas

These deliciously nutty, fruity little cookies are another speciality of picturesque Sardinia and go perfectly with a glass or two of local Moscato wine or some strong black coffee. They contain a tasty mix of walnuts, almonds, pine nuts, raisins and candied peel, and are traditionally coated with pure white icing, topped with pretty coloured sugar sprinkles. Throughout Sardinia you will find these local sweet treats on sale in all good bakeries and cake stores.
