Italian Cookie Tray

Treat yourself to a nostalgic assortment of Italian flavors. These Rainbow Cookies are soft and delicate with bright colors. A sweet almond flavor runs throughout the layers, sandwiching sweet apricot and raspberry jams. The Pinenut Pignolis are chewy and decadent, flavored with classic amaretto, and topped with toasty pinenuts. The Almond Horn cookies are chewy and juicy, flavored with amaretto, and topped with toasted almond slivers.

Back in 1981, Molly and Thomas Broder took an inspirational trip to the culinary capital of Bologna, Italy, and they returned to the States with a goal of bringing authentic Italian food and fresh-made pasta to Minneapolis. The following year, they opened Broders’ Cucina Italiana, and since then (along with additional restaurants, including a nearby “pasta bar”) it’s become a cornerstone of the community, and one of the very best Italian restaurants and markets in America.
