Pan di stelle (chocolate cookies)


Pan di stelle (chocolate cookies)

22 March 2021

I don't know if you know pan di stelle, literally "bread of the stars", cookies that I discovered in Italy several years ago. I think you can now find them in France, and they even made a spread out of them. They are one of my favorite cookies, so I decided to make a homemade version, with less stars though (a little too long to make with a piping bag), and after several tries I am happy with the result. So here is the recipe, easy and delicious!
