My 100% Italian husband will tell you these are his favorite cookies. I make them often, and definitely every Christmas (if not, people get upset). They're good with or without icing and sprinkles. —Marie Forte, Raritan, New Jersey

Very easy to make.I generally don't bake so I was happy to try this.I used rainbow nonpareils instead of the coconut.

My husband liked them a lot, but i have more of a sweet tooth, so I didn't care for them much.

I also make an Italian cookie but my recipe calls for 16oz of Ricotta cheese it keeps them moist

Made these this morning. I suppose if you are used to store-bought cookies these might be acceptable. They were boring, tasteless and dry. Awful cookies. No one liked them. Would certainly never recommend this recipe to anyone who likes home-made cookies. Very disappointed.

Have made these for years with the exception that my recipe calls for 1/2 c milk and 2 Tbls. anise. Use chopped nuts for topping

Very good cookies....I made them with sprinkles instead of coconut and all loved them, including the kids except for the 5 year old who declares cookies are supposed to be flatter :) Bake them at the lowest time you possibly can to keep them from drying out, maybe even go 25 degrees cooler.

I made these for a reception and they looked great but taste terrible. They were extremely dry, and bitter from all of the baking powder in them. Will not make them again.creastman
