    Omg Laura, these are the cookies that my mom always made for Christmas! I've never attempted to make them myself and she has passed away, so I don't have her to ask how to make them properly. I am going to follow your recipe, you've never let me down before, and I'm making these on Christmas Eve. Thank you Laura, I love it when you go all old fashioned Italian Christmas! Take care and Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family. Me and my hubby will be enjoying these and thinking of my mom and dad too. Xoxo

    Just made this last night. My aunts make this cookie in Italy when we visit and wanted to recreate. This is extremely close to the authentic ones my aunts would make but I’d say it’s even better. The flavors are incredible. The texture of the cookie is phenomenal. Added this to my new flavor cookies to make every Christmas. Thank you for the recipe!!!

    My part of Sicily calls them cuddureddi. My mom makes them every Christmas using the figs from our backyard. Everyone loves them. My mom prepares the filling a couple days in advance so the flavors are more intense. Buon Natale, Laura e famiglia!

      @@NOSUBSCRIBERSWANTED Like I said earlier, that's what they call fig cookies in my mom's town. My dad's town is the next one over and they call fig cookies something else. But that's a good question about what the difference is between a cookie and a pastry. After all, rainbow cookies are technically cake not a cookie. I thought pastries were cakes, pies, doughnuts, soft things like that, possibly filled with cream. Cookies are usually small and crispy. Whatever they are, they're all delicious!
