The hazelnut cookies get their texture from rice flour, which gives baked goods crispness—and since it doesn't contain the protein gluten like wheat flour does, doughs made with it don't run the risk of becoming tough if overworked. But we don't usually have rice flour on. I love Baci di Dama, it's one of my favourite recipes. Plus, it's very simple and the bite size makes it a very pleasant little dessert perfect for your afternoon tea.
