Ammonia Cookies

The ammonia cookies at my house are a dessert I make very often. They are suitable for breakfast or a snack, and we can fill them with jam or chocolate spread, but they are also delicious plain.
These cookies remind me a lot of my childhood because they are cookies that the bakery in a nearby town where I was born still makes today, and they have an unmistakable aroma and flavor!
Whenever possible, I take the opportunity to buy them at this bakery. I always choose the package of darker baked cookies… I like them well-colored!
When I was little, the bakery owner always set aside the cookies that were too dark to sell, and when he brought them to me, I was super happy!
At home, we like to fill them with chocolate spread or jam, cutting them in half like sandwiches.
Ammonia for baking can be easily found at the supermarket. It’s not something you need to search for; all grocery stores have it.
With these cookies, I also make an English trifle that my grandmother always made for me, and you can find the recipe by clicking here.
Try making them yourselves and you’ll see you’ll make them often; they are truly exceptional.
If you make any of my recipes, send me the photos, and I’ll publish them on my page with your name.

My name is Francesca Mele, and "Lo scrigno del buongusto" is the name of my blog. I am a true Abruzzese, and after several years with a cooking website, I decided to start a blog. I have been online for a total of 12 years now, so many of you have known me for a long time! I love cooking and I am neither a chef nor a professional cook; I simply have a passion for cooking, preparing, and inventing new dishes. The recipes you find on my blog are not copied, and even the photos are not downloaded from the internet; they are my own.
