November 22, 2009I always buy these cookies from my local Italian Bakery and I just love them. I tried making them and they never came out quite the way my Mama's Bakery made them, so when I saw this recipe I tried it, and Voila! Here are the cookies I have been searching for years. Thank you so much. They are so delicious.
