Italian Fig Cookies (Cuccidati or Buccellati)
If there’s one non-negotiable Christmas cookie at my house, it’s this one. Filled with a scrumptious mixture of figs, walnuts, raisins, orange, and honey, these traditional Fig Cookies are staple in Italian households. Learn how to make my Grandmother’s original Cuccidati recipe.
Apple Slab Pie
In addition to Granny Smith apples, you must make your own crust. I use a favorite recipe that includes good-ol’ Crisco™ plus egg yolks. Those two ingredients are the key to this crust recipe: flaky and rich in flavor but firm enough to hold all those delicious Granny Smith apples in place.
