Dai…dammi un abbraccio! (Come on, give me a hug!)
Four years ago I shared an adapted recipe for abbracci (hugs) – the cookies made famous by italian manufacturer Barilla. In light of today being National Hug Day, I present these again with a floral note: lavender and chocolate hugs. The recipe is the same as the original with the exception of 1 teaspoon of dried, crushed, edible-grade lavender flowers mixed into the white part of the dough. Give all of your loved ones a big hug or spoil them with a plate of warm abbracci – they will love you for it!

I remember when you first posted these. I like the addition of lavender to this version.

My tastebuds liked these more than the original ones too – I ate 5 of them, one after another, as soon as they were cooled!
