Cantucci by Yulia Vysotskaya
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Cantucci are dry biscuits, traditionally served with beverages—not only tea or coffee, but also with wine. Almonds are typically used to make these cookies, though you can add any other nuts or dried fruits as well. Making these cookies will surprise your friends—and you'll be amazed too. They can be stored for about three months and enjoyed for breakfast with coffee, served as an appetizer with sweet wine, or accompanied by tea or coffee.
