The cookies are here!
That’s what I did all week last week, bake lots and lots of cookies. We’re giving them away to family and friends, so I had to make plenty.
O helped me out when he was home, chopping chocolate, crushing nuts and chopping figs. He’s such a trooper. Of course, he got to eat all the cookies that turned out a little less than perfect. He didn’t mind though.
Every year back in the states, I would make Italian cookies - cantucci, sesame seed cookies, ricotta cookies, pizzelles, and frosted fig cookies. But this year, since I’m here, I’m surrounded by Italian cookies, so instead I made some good old American cookies - chocolate chips, peanut butter cookies (with my precious Skippy peanut butter that my parents brought me), snow-drop sandies, gingerbread (with molasses brought from home), chocolate drops, and my one Italian cookie - frosted fig cookies.
Besides, most everyone here has never had these cookies, so much better than giving the yearly panettone which probably gets passed about from house to house much like the proverbial fruitcake in the US. Either that or you get so much panettone that you end up throwing it out. So far the cookies have met with great success. (In fact, I was worried there wouldn’t be any left to make the packages).
Here they are
