Cantuccini (Italian almond cookies)

Cantucci, or cantuccini, also known as "biscottini di Prato" (Biscuits of Prato), are almond biscuits originating from Prato, Tuscany. The most popular and beloved recipe was created by Antonio Mattei in 1858. Even today, cantuccini are perfect for accompanying your cappuccino or espresso. Immediately recognizable by their intense flavor, sweet aroma, the almonds integrated into the dough, and their golden color, they can be enjoyed at any time of day as a sweet snack or as a dessert after a meal, and they are also excellent with a glass of good wine. The high-quality ingredients and the high percentage of almonds make these biscuits from Prato simply unique and irresistible.
