Cantucci Morbidi-Soft Cantucci
This is my recipe for: "Cantucci Morbidi" (soft cantucci). We tried these cantucci last year when we visited Italy (Vasto) at a friend's house and she was kind enough to give us her recipe. I also bake the classic cantucci, but my husband likes better the softer version of them.
