What are orange almond cookies?

Ricciarelli, or Italian orange almond cookies, are a traditional Christmas cookie served on special occasions during the winter holidays. They are tender and have a wonderful almond aroma. They are often served on an abundant tray and accompanied by other Italian cookies such as Amaretti, Biscotti, and Red Wine Cookies.In many homes, leftover cookies are eaten for breakfast, mid-morning, and afternoon snacks – basically at any time!

Storage

Our Vegan Orange Almond Cookies are best stored in a cool place and stacked in layers inside a sealed tin or glass container. Separate with baking paper or aluminum foil to prevent them from sticking together. If your cookies are very soft (perhaps you baked them for a shorter time), it is best not to stack them. Instead, store them inside a tray covered with film. Adding a piece of apple or carrot inside the container with the cookies is a little trick to preserve the tenderness of the biscuits. If you replace the apple or carrot daily, your cookies will stay moist longer.
