The recipe for these biscuits came back with me from Italy this summer. They are the crumbliest, most tender shortbreads I have ever made.

Canestrelli are delicious and crumbly cookies enriched with icing sugar on them. Typical of Liguria and Piedmont region.

These melt-in-the-mouth cookies feel like heaven! Delicious lemony flavor, super soft and butter-ly texture with a light crunchy bite.

They are buttery, melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and not too sweet despite being topped with a blanket of powdered sugar.

Buttery italian shortbread cookies. Tasty, easy to make and delicious.
