Uncle Frank's Italian

This cookie has been a tradition for several generations in my Sicilian family. Our Uncle Frank always made them for us. They are thought to be a Christmas cookie, but he would make them all year long. Sometimes instead of sprinkles he would top them with sesame seeds.

I've tried many Italian cookies recipes, but this one is my favorite. The cookies are soft and chewy with a perfect amount of lemon flavor.
