Baci Di dama are a type of Northern Italian sandwich cookie. "Baci di dama" means "Lady's kisses" in English.[1] Baci di dama are a sandwich cookie, consisting of two hazelnut cookies joined together by chocolate, representing the "kiss" in the name. Considered a standard of Italian confectionary, these are a common item at Italian bakeries throughout Italy and in Italian diaspora communities. Though traditionally made with hazelnut cookies, there are currently many modern flavor variations.
