The white cookie with nuts looks exactly like an Italian weeding cookie we call them sometimes referred too as divinity cookies I have seen please Google the Italian weeding cookie I actually have some now

Hello, I am looking for a recipe for my all time favorite childhood cookie and am having no luck. We called it a Divinity cookie and I think it was maybe German. It was like a whipped shortbread maybe, was white and domed like a plop of half circle. It was crisp but light and airy with tiny chocolate chips and maybe walnut chips but the unique thing about it was the outer layer was a soft ??? I don't know how to describe it?. I don't think it was rolled in anything, I think it just came out that way, it was a layer of soft fluff that stuck to my fingers. I hope this makes some sense to someone out there. lol Thanks for any help and for taking the time to read this.

Hello. I've been trying to find those cookies too. My childhood favorite. Last time was a little bakery in truckee in ca

I can't wait to try the recipe above! I was entertained by the initial commenter trying to explain to you that it was a meringue when it absolutely isn't. I've been searching for this cookie recipe since I was about 18 as I love the divinity cookies (which we know aren't really divinity) from Pike Place Bakery and no longer live where I can go visit them as often as I'd like.
