Canistrelli

Hailing from Corsica, these traditional shortbread cookies typically consist of flour, sugar, white wine, and flavorings such as anise or lemon zest. Canistrelli are double baked, and because of that they are incredibly crispy and have a long shelf life.

The cookies are commonly enjoyed for breakfast, when they are usually paired with hot beverages, but canistrelli also make an excellent sweet snack when paired with white wine.
