The lady’s kisses are tasty cookies filled with chocolate, originating from the city of Tortona. I made this recipe after watching it on the program Iginio Massari The Sweetman, as I had long been looking for a reliable and tested recipe, and I was more than satisfied. To make the classic lady’s kisses, you’ll need to prepare a dough based on hazelnuts and almonds, and then fill them with dark chocolate or a hazelnut cream. The result is extraordinary, it was a hit at home!

- 1/3 cup Hazelnut pieces
- 1/3 cup Blanched almonds
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- to taste Chocolate (or hazelnut cream)
Tools

Preparation
To make the lady’s kisses, first finely chop the hazelnuts and almonds with the brown sugar. Then pour everything into a large bowl, or directly onto the work surface, and add the soft butter and vanilla extract. Start mixing with your hands and incorporate the flour.
Knead until you get a homogeneous dough; wrap it in cling film and let it rest in the refrigerator for an hour.
Once the dough has firmed up, divide it into many sticks and cut them into small portions of dough about 0.25 ounces each; then take each portion with your hands and form balls.
Place the balls on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven at 320°F for about 20 minutes, until golden.
Once cooled, fill half of the half-spheres with dark chocolate or hazelnut cream, and join them with the other half. Enjoy!
