Pâtes de méligotte are a traditional cookie originating from Piedmont, Italy. In a nod to its cultural heritage, this recipe for Lemon Corn Cookies, courtesy of Alice Carbone Tench, derives its name from the ancient corn flour known as Meliga, locally referred to as Melia or Meira, which originates from the region where these treats are made.
