EGGLESS SAVOIARDI | LADY FINGERS SPONGE

Savoiardi/Lady fingers/Sponge fingers is an Italian cookie that is shaped like a big fat finger. This is the main ingredient in many Italian desserts like Tiramisu, Charlottes etc. I wanted to make a Tiramisu cake and ended up making eggless Lady fingers.I adapted the basic procedure from joy of baking and combined the recipe for short bread and lady fingers and ended up with these cookies.Since I have never tasted the real lady fingers I cannot comment if these tasted more or less similar to the original. But all I could say is the taste and flavor was really good and it soaked the coffee well in Tiramisu which served the purpose.And above all my daughter just loves these sponge fingers more than the regular cookies.
