Directions
Cookies Around the World 3 of 5, This is a great recipe for variety (English, French, Greek, German, Finnish, Italian, Swedish, Norwegian, Turkish, Mexican I have split them, two to a recipe but if you want them all, there are 5 separate recipes They are made from one basic cookie dough I think some of them may be posted individually, but at Christmas I make the entire variety Each batch of basic dough makes a batch of two of the cookies with the ingredients I have listed Time does not include chilling time , I added the spumoni bars to my Christmas trays and they went over well, I’d give them 4 stars The dough was a little tricky to shape but I found that molding the middle and then putting in the freezer for a bit helped a lot I then pulled it out and could shape the other doughs on either side and put it all in the freezer before slicing We also discovered that we loved the pistachio layer It was such a hit while making the cookies that we actually made a full recipe of just pistachio and used a small cookie scoop to portion it The pistachio were the only cookies that I held back from goodie trays and went only to our nearest and dearest in their goodie baskets The pistachio cookies were a full 5 stars!
