Italians love something mildly sweet especially a simple cookie not just for Breakfast, but also in the afternoon with tea or an espresso, or even better as a dessert with a glass of wine. These cookies are a delicate, slightly crunchy cookie. Made with butter and of course a touch of honey and your favorite flavoring.
