I enjoy researching Italian recipes and cooking traditions, especially around the holidays. I keep a folder of recipes I come across and go through it periodically to see what I can make. The filling of these cookies is full of figs, spices and orange zest. The recipe called for raisins, which I think I will leave out next time. It definitely takes time to make these, but I made the filling a day before to make it a bit easier.
I used my favorite baking tool when making these cookies -- a rolling pin made by my brother. We have his turned bowls and vases all over the house.
mmm these look good!
ReplyDeletethe one italian dessert I want to learn to make is cannoli - we had them on a trip to italy and I can't stop thinking about them!
These look so good, I'd love to know the recipe. I love your blog it's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHi kimar9791, nice to hear from you! Here's the recipe I used. If you google cucidati, you'll find a bunch of recipes. All are pretty much the same, but they vary a bit.
