Only a few days until Christmas and I haven’t even started my baking!
With this year’s work schedule, I haven’t had time for any of my usual holiday preparations.
Friday field trip this week is a kitchen visit as I fit in a little late night baking session to make the top priority holiday cookie. I am referring to the one most requested by my family – the “Italian” cookie.
My recipe comes from an old Italian woman many years ago. She was very ‘old world’ so I have always thought this recipe must be very authentic and I have never altered it.
And, I always stay true to the original recipe and use margarine, even though I never use it in any other baking.
I am sharing the recipe with you here. (I topped mine with white non-pareils.)
So now I have the favorite cookie baked and ready for Christmas Eve. If I can’t squeeze in any other holiday baking, at least I have the most important baking done! I hope you have time to bake some of your favorite holiday sweets!
Are you thinking these cookies aren’t very consistent with my woodland theme this year? Don’t worry, I got that covered…maple crème brulees, ice cream ‘pinecones’ and fireplace s’mores should fit the bill…don’t you think?
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
