Baci Cookie (Hazelnut sandwich cookie with chocolate creme)
Prep Time
10 minutes
Prep Notes
I name these cookies Baci because there are like the Italian candy chocolate covered hazelnut, and baci means kisses. And we all love kisses xx.
Growing up my grandmother would make oodles and oodles of cookie at Christmas time and make bundles for our friends and neighbors. My uncle would dress up like Santa and my brother in a red wagon and hand deliver them all.
So this is a tradition that know I can carry on with Healthy, Grain Free, No Refine Sugar Cookies **
