Italian Fig Cookies

These

are the Italian Fig Cookies

known as

Cucidati.

They may not look

like the pretty

sprinkled cookies

which grace

Italian Christmas

tables

but they are very tasty.

Labor intensive

I can see why 

it can be 

a fun family affair

to make them

together.

I learned about these

charming cookies

from a 

high school friend.

They are a favorite

in her Italian family.

I'm so glad she 

shared them

with me.

Here

is the

Gourmet Magazine

recipe I used.
