	Pignoli Cookies Pignoli are the most honored and revered of our cookie selection. They are traditional Sicilian macaroons made with almond paste and whole imported Spanish pignoli (pine nuts), and have a soft, chewy consistency under the pine nut coating. Pignoli are a traditional Italian holiday or special occasion treat due to their sumptuous ingredients and elegant adornment.
	Amaretti Cookies Amaretti are simple, traditional cookies of the Lombardy region of Italy. They are almond paste macaroons that are then dipped in sugar before baking, giving a sweet, slightly crunchy exterior to their otherwise moist, chewy, melt-in-your-mouth interior. They are excellent served with coffee or tea.
	Almond Amaretti Cookies Almond Amaretti are more deeply almond flavored cousins of traditional Amaretti. Almond paste macaroon dough is mixed with house toasted and ground almonds, then topped with a whole toasted almond and coated in sugar before baking. They are the perfect treat for almond lovers everywhere.
	Filbert Amaretti Cookies Filbert Amaretti are hazelnut flavored Amaretti. Almond paste macaroon dough is mixed with house toasted and ground filberts (a.k.a. hazelnuts), then topped with a whole, tosted filbert and dipped in sugar before baking. Toasted filberts have a sweeter, richer flavor than their raw counterparts, making them a welcome addition to the Amaretti base.
	Musticiolli Cookies Musticiolli are a traditional favorite of Southern Italy, and are named because of their similar shape to the eponymous pasta. Our Musticiolli are made using Giuseppe Termini's original recipe which calls for heavily spiced cinnamon honey dough which encases a mixture of candied fruit, apple buter, ground cake crumbs, nuts, and a few secret ingredients, and is then rolled in chopped almonds. Musticiolli are also known as the "Christmas Cookie" due to the bright green and red fruit that stands out against the dark dough. We think they taste great with Italian brandy or a hot apple cider.
	Imbutitti Cookies Imbutitti are delicious, tender cookies filled with a fruit and nut mixture that is aged for at least six months before being rolled into the dough and baked. We follow Giuseppe Termini's original recipe that requires 10 steps to produce. These cookies are wonderful for afternoon tea, and pair especially well with fruit-flavored herbal teas.
	Quorasemali Cookies Pronounced "core-se-molly," this Termini Brothers original recipe was brought over by Giuseppe Termini from his hometown in Enna, Sicily. Our biggest mixer is needed to mix extra large batches, on average weighing over 400 lbs! Whole almonds, cashews and dried fruit are mixed into chocolate flavored cookie dough, rolled into logs, baked and then cut into individual portions.
	Scumetti Cookies Scumetti (also known as Brutti ma Buoni, meaning "Ugly but Good") are a traditional northern Italian specialty. These cookies have the consistency of French egg-white meingues (crispy at first, then chewy and melt-in-you-mouth delicious) and are studded with almonds, cashews and house-ground and candied California orange peels. We think they go marvelously with a glass of sparkling Prosecco.
	Coconut Macaroon Cookies Our Coconut Macaroons are made with coconut imported from the Phillipines and house-ground and candied California orange peel, and have a light, moist and soft consistency The beautiful shape of these cookies is achieved by piping the dough onto baking sheets and then individually hand-packing each cookie after baking. Our Coconut Macaroons can also be dipped in semi-sweet chocolate to make them even more decadent. The toasted coconut flavor of these cookies pairs equally well with margaritas or Pumpkin Spice lattes, making them an excellent year-round treat!
	Anise Biscotti Our Anise Biscotti recipe is a simple, traditional interpretation of Biscotti made with Anise oil. The licorice flavor of the Anise makes these Biscotti a great pair with a morning espresso.
	Swieback Biscotti Swieback Biscotti have a German origin (zwei = "two", backen = "baked"). Ours are studded with walnuts and cherries, giving them additional texture and natural sweetness. They pair well with orange juice.
	Taralli Biscotti (Rings) Taralli are lightly lemon-flavored, ring shaped Biscotti. In Italy, they are often used as teething rings for young children due to their durable consistency and ring shape. Our Taralli are made using Mr. Termini's original recipe and are individually rolled by hand.
	Regina Biscotti Regina Biscottie are one of our most basic and beloved items. Using Giuseppe Termini's origial recipe, these lemon flavored Biscotti are rolled in sesame seeds, giving them a slightly savory quality. These Biscotti pair well with a glass of cold milk.
	Cappuccino Biscotti Our Cappuccino Biscotti are flavored with fresh espresso and are studded with chocolate chips. They make an excellent foil for a Mocha.
	Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti These festively colored Biscotti have the bright, tart flavor of dried cranberries and the sweet, salty nuttiness of California pistachios. They have a lovely presence at Christmastime, but are so popular that we make them year round. We recommend that you take these Biscotti with a festive glass of eggnog or a morning latte.
	Chocolate Cherry Biscotti These chocolate flavored Biscotti are mixed with dried cherries, giving them a punch of bright tartness and chewiness throughout. We recommend that you enjoy these Biscotti with a glass of your favorite Vin Santo.
