These classic Italian cookies get their signature crispness from being twice-baked: First, the dough is cooked in logs, cut into slices, then baked again Because they travel and keep well, a pile of them makes an excellent gift wrapped in a cellophane bag and tied with a ribbon Feel free to experiment with add-ins: Sub in hazelnuts or pistachios for the almonds
