Milanese Biscuits: A Trip Down Memory Lane
Milanese biscuits are delicious little all-purpose cookies that bring joy to the Christmas season. Crispy, golden, and lovingly decorated, they're perfect for preparing with family and sharing with delight around the holiday table. Originating from Northern Italy, these shortbread cookies have transcended generations to become a staple in Christmas cookie tins throughout Europe.
Their simple and generous dough — made with butter, sugar, and flour — lends itself to all sorts of whimsy: stars, Christmas trees, bells, snowmen… Each shape becomes a blank canvas to decorate as you wish, with royal icing, edible glitter, or melted chocolate. It's also an ideal activity to share with children, who love cutting out and decorating their own biscuits.
