45 minutes

Spiced cookies are a cozy treat that embodies the warmth of Italian cuisine. Their roots trace back to medieval tavern traditions where sweet spices were used in baking, filling homes with the aromas of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. The blend of spices for mulled wine gives the cookies a deep, warming flavor while coconut flakes add a subtle exotic touch. The texture is crisp on the outside and tender inside. They pair perfectly with a strong espresso or fragrant tea and are suitable for cozy winter evenings or friendly gatherings. These cookies not only delight in taste but also become a true symbol of home comfort.
