    Cookie Recipes

    Homemade cookies, they're always worth the effort.

    Give my two best cookie recipes from South Italy a try!  Sicilian Sesame Seed Cookies and Italian Crackers (Taralli). No need to travel to Italy to enjoy these treats.

    Or you can try these nut-based ones - Swedish Hazelnut & Cardamom Cookies and Polvorones (Spanish Christmas Cookies).  Nothing stops you from making them anytime of the year!
