Directions
Iced Italian Cookies,Posted by request, these pretty little cookies are very often served at holiday gatherings in many Italian American families. You may shape them any way you prefer, and change the flavoring of the icing slightly to suit your tastes. The original recipe came from one of my favorite community style cookbooks called “Preserving Our Italian Heritage” compiled by the Sons of Italy Florida Foundation. I combined several variations submitted by 5 different ladies, all of whom used the same basic cookie recipe but used slightly different methods in shaping and icing the cookies. The yield will vary depending upon how you shape your cookies.,the cookies had a very bitter after taste. Is the amount of baking powder correct? Ive never used that much in a recipe. Thank you.,EXCELLENT!! I have been making this exact recipe for years. Excellent with coffee!
