Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup butter salted
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 2/3 tablespoons vin santo may substitute with a sweet dessert wine
  • cream cheese
  • pesto sauce

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180C.
  • Mix the butter, flour, almond and hazelnut flour, parmesan cheese, and the Vin Santo together until uniform in consistency.
  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper and shape the mixture into walnut sized balls.
  • Place the balls on the baking sheet leaving some space between each one (they tend to expand while baking) and bake for approximately 20 minutes.
  • While the kisses are cooling, prepare the filling by mixing the cream cheese with a few tablespoons of pesto sauce.
  • Spread the filling on the cookies and put them together in pairs. They can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days and can be served either chilled or at room temperature.
