Cantuccini and Biscotti for Mother's Day

This year, my sister and I couldn't visit our parents for Mother's Day, so we sent our Mum baked italian cookies via mail: Biscotti alle Nocciole, cookies with hazelnuts, and toscan almond cookies, the famous Cantuccini.

The Biscotti are stable enough to survive the transport and our Mum was very happy! :-)

Entry Cookies (Black and White Doubles)

Theses cookies were a thank-you gift for a colleague who helped to shorten my way to work by a good deal. They display the shiny new gate that pedestrians and cyclists may use since this week, between the yellow stripes depicted on the cookies (which have been painted on the street just for this purpose).
In order to have room to paint, I used a rather big top of a storage tin as a cookie cutter, which makes for solid cookies! The dark dough and white chocolate filling reminds me of Oreo cookies.
