Spumoni Cookies

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

If you can’t tell that I’m Italian yet, you’re awful at context clues. Spumoni is the BEST Italian ice cream made with 3 different flavors – usually chocolate, cherry, and pistachio. I remember being a kid chanting “spumoni! spumoni! spumoni!” at the table at any Italian restaurant I went to with my family to scheme my way into getting it and it’s still one of my favorite treats. That being said, why not make it into a cookie?

This cooking is made with 1 dough, just split into 3, and flavored differently. the brown is chocolate + hazelnuts, the pink is black cherry, and the green is pine nut + pistachio (you can use either or.)

The upside to these cookies is you can make them, leave them out and they won’t melt 😋 Downside is they’ll be gone in 10 minutes.
