Mandorlotti

Similar to the more famous fave dei morti, mandorlotti are crispy almond cookies from Romagna, more precisely the area between Gatteo, Sala di Cesenatico, and Gambettola, in the province of Forlì-Cesena. Made with flour, sugar, egg whites, and coarsely chopped almonds, each mandorlotto decorated with a whole almond and baked until crispy. Served lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar, they pair nicely with sweet white wines.
