Description

Matilde Vicenzi's assortment of Minivoglie cookies combines unique varieties of shortbread cookies that capture the essence of authentic Italian biscuits. Each cookie is enriched with different flavors, from delicate hazelnuts, spicy cinnamon, and citrus fruits to tart-sweet cherries and soft cocoa cream.  Shortbread cookies' origins trace back to 12th century Scotland when butter was added to bread dough, hence the name shortbread. After the introduction of sugar in the UK in the 17th century, shortbread cookies soon became synonymous with sweet flavors that we all know today. One of the biggest consumers of cookies is Italy, known for its "cookies for breakfast" culture. Throughout the centuries, they have created some of the most unique biscuit varieties, including Baci di Dama (or "lady's kisses"), Biscotti (or "twice-baked," also known as Cantuccini), and Amaretti ("amaro," meaning bitter in reference to almonds they contain). To discover more of Italy's favorite cookies, check out our wide selection of Italian cookies!
