Here you will find some of the most traditional Italian Christmas cookies that our Nonne. our Grandmothers have preserved for many generations. Browse the pages below and you will find many. Since my Italian Christmas cookies recipe already has almond extract, taking these cookies up to almond crescent cookies is a natural shift! Even going so far as buttery, dense almond shortbread cookies are a delicious change — swap the oil for butter and toss in some slivered almonds.

Steps to make Italian Christmas Cookies:

1. In another large bowl, mix the flour, sugar and baking powder, Mix well and set aside
2. Back to the egg bowl, add the cup of butter and continue to beat and slowly add the flour mixture
3. Make sure all the ingredients are well combined in this dough
4. Make 1 inch balls out of the dough and place them (2 inches apart) on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake for 12-15 mins… The cookies shouldn't be all brown on the top, but should be brown on the bottom
5. While the cookies were baking, I quickly made the glaze. As soon as the cookies were done, I dunked them in the bowl of glaze and once well coated, I placed them on a rack to drain and immediately sprinkled some sprinkles
6. I let it sit over night so it was nice and dry and then stored in an airtight container

Firstly, sift the flour and baking powder together into a bowl. Then, in a larger bowl, cream butter and sugar. These cookies are a staple in my house for every holiday and I adjust the extract accordingly. Halloween and Thanksgiving I use pumpkin extract in the cookies and vanilla in the icing, for Christmas, anise flavoring in the cookies and fresh lemon juice instead of water in the icing, and for Easter, orange or lemon extract in the cookies and fresh orange or lemon. Italian bakers also rely on their wonderful almonds for cookies like the Amaretti Cookies shown here, and fruits, like figs which they add to holiday recipes to indicate prosperity, generosity, and luxury.
