This aromatic cookie is inspired by traditional Italian cantucci, famous for their crunchy texture and rich nutty-fruity flavor. Cantucci are historically associated with the Tuscany region and are often served with the dessert wine Vin Santo to soften their dense structure. In this variation of the classic recipe, a combination of wheat, rice, and unbleached flour is used, giving the baked goods a special tenderness. Almonds, hazelnuts, and raisins add exquisite depth of flavor, while cane sugar provides a light caramel sweetness. The cookies are baked in portioned molds, making them convenient for serving and giving a perfect golden crust.
