OMG!!!! Thank U, thank U, thank U 4 sharing! My Dad was born and raised in Campobasso, Italy. I was born and raised in upstate New York. Well, I recently moved to SC and can U believe the closest gourmet import store is about 150 miles! I was looking to buy some almond paste cookies, because unfortunately, I am not much of a baker at all. Actually I was hoping to buy almond paste cookies, sfogliatelle, ricotta pie, torrone and rum baba cakes. Well, I wasn't looking forward to a 2 and half hour road trip not knowing what I was going to find on the other end. So, I searched recipes, and came across your recipe. Well, so pleased to say, there is no need to travel the 2 and a half hours when I will be making these almond cookies in my very own kitchen. So good, and I never knew they were so darn easy to make. I thought they would be time consuming and difficult to make seeing that the bakeries in upstate NY charge about $15.00 per pound of cookies. Once again, thank U!
