Description
Imagine a glorified Fig Newton with sprinkles, and you'll get the idea behind these festive holiday cookies. Though cucidati are much-loved in Sicily where they originate, the crumbly, lightly sweetened spiced fig and nut cookies are not well-known in the United States, outside of Italian-American communities. It takes a little time to create them, but your efforts will be rewarded. For extra flair, be sure to top the finished cookies with vanilla glaze and colorful sprinkles. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Sara Mellas.
Ingredients
Directions
- Place the butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and continue beating until the mixture is light, about 1 minute.
- Add the flour, baking powder and salt to the bowl and beat until a smooth dough forms, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Divide the dough in half. Turn each half onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Shape the dough into 3/4-inch-thick rectangles, then wrap them tightly. Refrigerate the dough until firm enough to roll and hold its shape, about one hour.
