Merav Shiner makes us Tuscan cantuccini cookies, crispy and wonderful, perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. The mandelbruit from the Eastern European cuisine that my grandmother used to make are probably an incarnation of the Italian Cantuccini.

The taste is still well etched in my memory, and I decided to reproduce it this time for you. The cookies like to "pump" hot liquid into the contents and the result on the palate is simply delightful. More cookie recipes: Tiramisu kosher for Passover, lost bread (french toast)
