Pasticcini di Mandorla (Almond Orange Biscuits)
These are so fragrant and delicious. WE LOVED THEM...I will be making them probably over and over this Christmas. They will freeze really well. I am not worried about gluten free, but these just happen to be.
I think they would make the perfect gift. If you didn't actually start eating them yourself...but then, you can always make a second batch. Simple!
