Welcome back to another edition of Taste of Home Tuesday. Last week I was down for the count with a nasty cold, but thankfully it didn’t last too long and I was getting back in the swing of things by the weekend.
One of the things I love about tasteofhome.com is that you can put an ingredient in the search bar and a whole host of recipes will pop up that require that ingredient! That was the case this weekend when I had a tub of ricotta cheese that was getting near the “best before” date and I wanted to use it up.
These Italian Christmas Cookies caught my eye and I was happy to see they made a really big batch! I actually froze half the dough for baking later.
Once out of the oven they were flying off the cooling rack before I even had a chance to frost them! They are almost cake like with just a hint of sweetness if you prefer them unfrosted.
I did manage to decorate some with little penguin candy pieces I bought from Wilton, and then I just sprinkled some with red and green sprinkles.
These Christmas cookies will make a very nice addition to any holiday baking tray.
You can find the recipe for these Italian Christmas Cookies here at tasteofhome.com
Until next time…..

Glad you’re feeling better. Nobody needs a cold at this time of year – who has time to be sick!!!
The penguins are so cute on these cookies.
Maureen says
Thanks Heather! I wish I had picked up more of those cute little penguins! I got them at the Christmas Tree Shop near Buffalo

Hey Maureen, these cookies sound and look really nice. They would compliment my tray of cookies you and Nan are making for me.

Ummm….I didn’t get the memo about the tray of cookies yet!!!
