Ladyfingers are traditionally soft, delicate cookies that are most often used in desserts such as tiramisu. The cookies gain their airiness from beaten egg whites, which are folded in with sugar, egg yolks and sifted flour. Then, the cookies are piped onto a baking sheet, which give them their traditional fingerlike shape. Although most homemade ladyfingers are soft, be aware that varieties from the store can be hard.
Summertime is perfect for picnics, beach parties, barbecues and celebrating America's birthday. No summer meal would be complete without a fresh, tasty dessert.

Ladyfingers are small, light, dry, crispy sponge cakes that are shaped like fat fingers and used in many French and Italian desserts. Do not confuse them with the two-word "lady fingers," which can be either a variety of small banana or a type of okra. Ladyfingers are widely available in most grocery stores, where they are typically sold in packages of 30 individual ladyfingers. They can be frozen for several months or stored in a tightly sealed container for up to a week.
