I have been making these for my Christmas cookie trays for about 4 years now. They are my favorite cookie. Great almond flavor.

I had gotten this recipe out of the Country Woman magazine over 10 years ago and have made it every year for Christmas and Easter. I try to make it early in the day so I can pack them away before retiring to bed. They are a fantastic cookie! Sometimes I add vanilla extract in place of the lemon. This one is worth the effort!!

My wife just finished making a batch of these things with the plans of taking them to our daughter?s end of the year school party. She?s headed back to the grocery store to BUY some cookies to take. These things are so horrible, I?m not even going to try and feed them to dog and besides, I don?t think he?d eat them either. Don?t waste your time and energy making these things?I refuse to call them cookies.

I make alot of Italian cookies that my mother-in-law showed me and gave me recipe. I have one that I'm not sure I'm doing right it is a egg bisquite and you drop in boiling water when they come up you cut slice around cookie not all the way through and then you bake then, they all so have fennel or anise seed in them. If you could help me my husband loves them even if there not made right ofcourse his Grandma like them to even if they didn't come out right.Hummervic@yahoo.com

I made these for Christmas gifts and they were absolutely delicious and very pretty. If you put the sprinkles on make sure to put them on right away after dipping in the glaze or they won't stick. I plan on making them again with the girls - who says they're just for Christmas!
