Market Hall Bakery's Most Popular Cookie
Sinking your teeth into these chewy, sumptuous cookies is an experience like no other. Traditionally prepared at Christmas time in Siena, Ricciarelli date back to the days of the Renaissance. Market Hall Bakery's pastry chefs create these little jewels every morning. Made simply with natural almond paste (gluten free), these sweet treats make a sublime ending to a meal with a glass of Vin Santo or a steaming cup of espresso.
You'll receive one dozen freshly-baked Ricciarelli with each order. Our extensive testing (or tasting!) reveals that these cookies are best eaten within about 10 days.
Please note: Freshly baked Ricciarellis are made-to-order. Because of this, your order will take one additional business day to process before shipment.

Having tried Siena's famous ricciarelli cookies when I was there a few years ago, I was really excited to see that I could order freshly-made ones through Market Hall. However, they seemed too heavy on the almond paste making the cookies a little too gooey instead of chewy and too strong on the almond paste flavor. I wouldn't buy them again due to this but they were definitely fresh and closer to the Siena version that other commercial versions I've tried.
I sent my mom your almond cookies for Mother’s Day and she absolutely loved them!! I almost had to have an intervention so she would “slow her roll”!
Some of the best cookies we have ever ordered and in my world of selling homes we are always looking for great and unusual gifts to share with our buyers and sellers. I will be ordering and very efficient with regards to prompt responses and delivery time.
Absolutely and spectacularly delicious!! But very expensive with shipping.
Exactly what I was looking for - these almond cookies are chewy and so good. Highly recommended.
