Hazelnut Kiss Cookies

Kitchen Princess is a manga by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi in which every chapter is named after a dish. This is our own quick, family-friendly version of that dish, not the recipe from the book.

Baci means “kisses” in Italian. Baci di dama are tiny hazelnut cookies joined with chocolate, said to look like two lips meeting for a kiss. Our shortcut uses store-bought cookies so kids can make them in minutes.

Make it a learning moment: hazelnuts grow on trees and a lot of the world’s hazelnuts come from Turkey. Find it on a map.
