ALMOND COOKIES APULIAN (PASTE DI MANDORLA PUGLIESI)

At Christmas time the desserts that are prepared are mostly made ​​with almonds. Folders, castagnelle, the Sasanelli, nougat and sugared almonds abound in all the bakeries and pastry shops. I personally do not like it very much except for the almond pastes. In a small town ,Turi, prepare them extremely well, especially the "faldacchea" made with almonds, alkermes, sponge cake and frosting with white chocolate. Dream! This year I prepared these delicious sweets for make gifts and were very much appreciated ...
