Roccoco
Roccoco are traditional Christmas cookies originating from Naples. They're made with a combination of flour, almonds, sugar, candied fruit, and pisto – a mixture of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and coriander. These cookies have been known for their dry and hard texture since 1320, when the nuns of the Real Convento della Maddalena first started preparing them.
It's recommended to serve roccoco biscotti with a glass of limoncello, marsala, or spumonte.
