About the dish

Offelle di Parona are traditional Italian cookies hailing from Pavia in lombardy. The cookies are made with a combination of wheat flour, eggs, olive oil, and sugar. There's also a version of these cookies with added cocoa, but the original was first created in the 1800s. The cookies are traditionally oval-shaped with pointed tips, and it's recommended to serve them with cappucino, tea, or hot chocolate, but they can also be dipped into a glass of sweet wine as a sweet snack. Interestingly, a festival dedicated to offelle di Parona takes place annually in Parona on the first Sunday in October.
