Market Hall Bakery Ricciarelli Almond Cookies

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.
