Brutti ma Buoni likewise referred to as Mandorlati di San Clemente, is an Italian cookie just like a meringue cookie only it includes nuts. It has a splendidly crisp outside with a structure that is soft and chewy. Great with a cup of tea or coffee.
About equating as "unsightly but great", this is yet another standard cookie dish that can be discovered in numerous variations throughout Italy, and although these cookies are scrumptious, they are not appropriate for making too far ahead of time, or for freezing.
The completing touch is to sprinkle a little confectioners (powdered or icing) sugar over the tops of the baked cookies. Brutti ma Buoni are at their ideally the day they are made, as their crisp outside does soften with storage.
