Cucciole

(Cuggiole, Cuggiulelle, Cujuelles)

Cucciole are traditional biscuits originating from Corsica. They're made with a combination of flour, sugar, baking soda, olive oil, white wine, and brandy. The crumbly dough is cut into thick diamonds, and it's then sprinkled with powdered sugar and baked until golden brown and crunchy.


It's recommended to let cucciole cool down once they're out of the oven. Later on, the cookies are typically served on their own or with a cup of hot coffee. If desired, cucciole can be stored in an airtight container so that they last longer.
