We’ve never introduced these unassuming little cookies to someone without getting the same shocked reaction. No one can believe how good they are until they taste them. These Sicilian almond cookies are incredibly simple and easy to make, and they have an extraordinary flavor and irresistibly gooey texture. They are traditionally topped with candied cherries, almonds, or sometimes even coffee beans.
