Rotelle di Borzonasca

Rotelle di Borzonasca are traditional shortbread cookies produced in Liguria ever since the 19th century. They are round, with serrated edges and a hole in the middle, and due to their shape, which is reminiscent of small wheels, they got the name rotelle, or in dialect ruëtta. Made with chestnut flour, they are firm but flaky, baked until golden, and then served generously sprinkled with powdered sugar.
