Growing up, the best part of the holidays was baking cookies with my grandmothers.  These Italian cookie recipes are close to my heart and heritage.  Enjoy!

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg, 1 egg yolk

Mix all ingredients together in order.  Heat at 375 degrees and cook for 9-12 minutes.

Grandma Antoinette’s Rosette Cookies

  • 1 cup flour
  • 3 eggs

How do you store these? Open container, covered container. Can you freeze and for later?
