Sicilian almond cookies, with a cherry on top!
These cookies are perfect as they use minimal ingredients, you can flavor them however you want and are super easy to make.
I first learnt this recipe while on a culinary trip last October to Sicily with @justine_snacks and @eminchilli. We visited a beautiful farm called @busulmonaa that specializes in Sicilian almonds.
These cookie stay chewy and crispy up to a week if you keep them in an airtight container.
