Coin cookies are an exquisite Italian recipe that combines a crispy texture with a rich creamy-cheese flavor. Their roots trace back to traditional Mediterranean snacks, where simplicity of ingredients meets richness of aromas. Butter adds tenderness, cheddar cheese brings sharpness, and fresh rosemary adds subtle spice complemented by a pinch of cayenne pepper. The coin shape of the cookies not only provides an original appearance but also convenience: these golden circles pair perfectly with a glass of wine, enhancing an evening aperitif or serve as a refined addition to a cheese platter. The cookies are easy to make and their rich flavor makes them a favorite treat among gourmets. Simple to prepare and elegant in presentation, this recipe embodies the philosophy of Italian cuisine—minimalism, quality, and pleasure.
