You will NEVER want to purchase an Italian-pretender-cookie from a franchised bakery or market again! What do I need to make true Italian cookies? Usually three main things: REAL BUTTER Nuts Flavorings We use almond flavoring more than vanilla flavoring. And the big one that may seem foreign - anise extract or anise flavoring. (Anise is the flavoring that is similar to licorice - you may know it best in the traditional Italian biscotti.) All of these main ingredients can be found your normal supermarket and picked up in your regular shopping trip! Good news, huh? No specialty shopping required! Drop Cookie Recipes Drop cookie recipes are when you literally drop the cookie dough on the cookie sheet. These Italian cookie recipes take no time to refrigerate or press into a molded shape. Some of these are more complex in ingredients and some are super easy. Almond Butter Cookies - very popular for Christmas Cookie Platters!

They aren't dropped. And you don't get to shape them. Apricot Bar Recipe Butterscotch Bars Cherry Chocolate Bars Chocolate Cookie Bar Recipe Coffee Brownies Double Chocolate Brownie Recipe Date Bars Lemon Squares Recipe Lemon Shortbread Recipe Peanut Butter Brownie Recipe Pumpkin Bars Baklava Recipe (Yes, I know these aren't "Italian" - but we do make them and eat them since Greece is our neighbor) Rolled Cookie Recipes Most of these rolled cookie recipes are the kind where the dough is refrigerated and then cut. BUT several call for the dough to be rolled in balls and either stay in balls or flatten with a glass. In other words, they aren't a drop cookie recipe and they aren't like brownies (cookie bar recipes).

I separated a list above into a list of the easier cookie recipes. These cookies are quick, easy and the ingredients can be found in a normal supermarket. Easy To Make Cookies A shortened list of the above cookies, for those who gotta make cookies NOW! Most Italian Cookies In The Super Market Are Imposters! Why do I say they are imposters? Because authentic Italian cookie recipes use butter and eggs as primary ingredients. It gives that rich base flavor. These usually go bad within days unless... Super market cookies were made in an industrial bakery! These bakeries are miles away from your market. The mass impersonal bakeries use wee amounts of butter and eggs in their products to save money. To preserve the wee amount of real butter in those cookies, and the minute amount of eggs - the cookies were pumped with preservatives only a chemistry student can pronounce. After the giant industrial machines place a colorful wrapper and a deceptive pretty label proclaiming the cookies as "Italian", they sit on the shelves (or a freezer) in the bakery morgue for weeks! Most are pure crap! We pride ourselves in using the freshest ingredients possible. Which means using these cookie recipes you won't have them sitting around long. Your cookies will be MUCH tastier and truly authentic with these recipes! You will have a batch of fresh Italian cookies from YOUR kitchen that beat any of the prepackaged grocery store cookies!
