Sweet Taralli, or “taralli Dolci” as we say in Italian, are ring-shaped cookies typical from Campania (the region where Naples is) and that you can find with the name of “ciambelline” in other parts of Italy as well. They are typically eaten for breakfast paired with a tiny cup of espresso, as a sweet mid-afternoon snack or as an after dinner dessert paired with some sweet wine as they are very good for dipping (…you know we Italians love that stuff ;)
To keep it short: this gluten free Sweet Taralli are the perfect cookies for those times you feel like something sweet but don’t want to put yourself into a sugar coma. They have a very delicate taste and if you store them in an air tight container, they last a few days and maintain their moist texture well. I made a batch in Florence and I remember I was still eating them during my next stop in Bologna… and they still tasted amazing!
