Spoon Cookies image

This recipe is from my Italian mother-in-law. She refers to them as spoon cookies because most Italian cookies are shaped and these are just dropped from a spoon. They're usually seen at Christmas.

These cookies are a little too soft for my taste. I think I'll try baking them for a few minutes longer next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted chopped dried fruit for the walnuts. They turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. I'm going to try making them again and see if I can get them right.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.
