Baci di Dama - Italian Dessert. Baci di dama are cookies typical of Piedmont, the region I come from in the northwest of Italy, known for its sought-after DOP hazelnuts. Piedmont is also rich in other delicacies such as chocolate, the precious white truffles, and wines (Barolo, Barbera, Moscato D'Asti, Asti Spumante, etc). Baci Di Dama are cute, little Italian cookies, made with almond meal and filled with chocolate.

Baci di Dama - Italian Dessert The secret to Perfect Italian Cookies: One of the most important things which ensure proper shape and texture of the Italian cookies is to use well-chilled butter.
