I had Italian cookies at a wedding (and they were delicious!), so I thought I'd try out some pistachio varieties at Nino D'Aversa bakery.
Clockwise from top left: Almond swirl cookie, pistachio almond, lemon swirl, almond cookie, chocolate and lemon drop
These cookies are sold by weight ($37.99/kg and worked out to about $5.93 for 6 here.
Almond swirl cookie was soft inside and hard outside and had a decent almond flavour but wasn't super strong. It reminded me of a macaroon without coconut and it was similar for the lemon swirl cookie too. It had a nice light lemon flavour and was soft inside (maybe made with limoncello?).
The other lemon drop cookie had a ton of powdered sugar on top and had the same distinct soft inside and hard outside and was quite tasty with an almost buttery flavour.
The pistachio almond cookie was more almond than pistachio (except for the colour).
The chocolate cookie was not very chocolatey, but tasted more almond meringue-like.
The almond cookie was probably the best of the bunch of flat cookies (with lots of almond flavour)
