These remind me of a cookie called "Sammartini" or "Petrali", made in Reggio Calabria, Italy. We have them for Christmas. http://www.greenme.it/mangiare/di-stagione/18676-dolci-natale-calabria-petrali __________________ Dominic, Zone 6a

I had all the ingredients in the pantry for a batch at Christmas and it never got done. Maybe one wintry weekend will be the right opportunity. Enjoy! __________________ Dale non compost mentis in Zone 6a

Hey guys. If it helps I included my recipe for spiced fig cookies using fig Jam from Tree's of Joy. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10203622782312227&set=a.1309043528276.2039294.1296217270&type=3&theater Sicilian Spiced Fig Cookies (Cucidati) No one seems to agree about exactly what—besides figs—goes into the filling for these classic Sicilian cookies, known as cucidati. Kolachy Dough (I prefer) Ingredients 16 oz. cream cheese 16 oz. (4 sticks) butter 20 oz. flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1 cup sugar Fig Filling 24 oz Mission Figs (chopped in half stems removed) 15 oz box Golden Raisins 4 jars of Fig Jam (Tree's of Joy) 1 cup Honey 2 cups Walnuts Chopped 2 cups semisweet Chocolate Chips or ground chocolate 2 cups Myers Dark Rum 2 tsp Cinnamon 1/2 tsp Cloves 2 Orange Zest (or chopped candied orange peel) Mix filling together and let it sit 2 or more days in fridge to absorb flavors. Roll dough out into large rectangle and make a roll with filling inside. Seal edges with dough and cut cookies using a bench knife. Space apart and bake the cookies at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. After they cool I like to dust with powdered Sugar.

I made a batch of cuccidati for Christmas, too. Actually being Abruzzese, I often make the caggiunitt, which are pretty similar but they are deep fried in olive oil. I started making the cuccidati because they're baked and they actually keep better. Why am I not surprised that so many of us made them...? __________________ USDA Zone 9b Wish list: Abruzzi, Pasquale, Tagliacozzo, Zingarella, Godfather. Any unk Italian, especially from Abruzzo.
