Meet the Cook: These cookies take some time, effort and equipment - but, believe me, they are well worth it! My husband and I (we have two grown children) used to operate an Italian-American restaurant, and this recipe goes back generations.—Gloria Cracchiolo, Newburgh, New York

I got this recipe from the magazine many years ago, and have made them for many years. They are delicious. I was so glad to see the recipe online.

Can you tell me the historical background of this cookie? How it is used in relation to italian customs.

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!

Just to make sure, do I leave the cookies on the wire racks for 24 hours before putting them in the airtight container? Thanks!

Also, between batches, I keep the glaze covered with a wet dish towel.
I drop the whole cookie in the bowl of glaze, and flip them once or twice.

do you dip the entire cookie in the glaze or just half of it?
