Biscotti, also known as cantucci are Italian almond biscuits that originated in the Tuscan city of Prato. Usually oblong-shaped, dry, crunchy (because they are twice-baked), and often dipped in a drink, traditionally Vin Santo (a sweet dessert wine also indigenous to Tuscany). In the U S it is more common to dip a biscotti into a hot drink like coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. If you don’t mind baking something twice, biscotti is relatively easy to make. Biscotti are healthy, satisfying, and relatively light. One of the best qualities is that they are lower in fat and sugar than other cookies.  The ingredient list typically includes a generous number of heart-healthy nuts. They travel well and have a long shelf life.

The Madeleine is a traditional tiny sponge cake. These are distinctive, shell-like shapes resulting from being baked in pans with shell-shaped depressions. A good thing about madeleines from a health perspective is that they are low in sodium. Having too much sodium increases the chances of diseases and increases your risk of kidney failure, not to mention heart attack and stroke. Madeleines, to that extent, are heart-healthy.

Naters are characterized by a golden color and the sweet taste of pineapple. These pineapple cookies are also called Kue Nastar. This popular and amazing traditional sweet has a prominent place in the Chinese New Year celebration. Nasters are awesome in taste and the texture is also super. And a much better use of pineapple than on a pizza. 

A macaroon is a small cake or cookie, basically made from ground almonds, coconut, or other nuts with sugar and sometimes flavorings, glace cherries, food coloring, jam, chocolate coating, etc. The combination of Macaroons is sometimes baked on edible rice paper which is placed on a baking tray.
