Thank you, Donna! Enjoy the recipe!
As a kid my mom worked for an Italian lady that was also a caterer and would make these cookies. She would "pipe" the batter onto the cookies sheet which made for a kind of tube type of cookie that was round and the icing was also put on and "jimmies" or sprinkles. Loved them and would carry three or more in my pockets and eat when I was away from home. They were the best...

Hi Elaine, thanks so much for your kind words! I’m so happy you’re making the cookie recipes I posted 😊 I do have a filled cookie recipe my mother used to make during the holidays, only the filling is made with finely chopped raisins, prunes, walnuts and a little shot of vermouth. They’re super delicious! I’ll go find it and see if I can post it sometime soon. Glad to hear you’re enjoying the cookies you’ve made so far 😀
What are you using for the pretty colored topping?

Hi Sherry! I used pastel confetti sprinkles, but I crushed them down to size a bit, similar to course sea salt.
Can’t wait to try these. What are they called in Italian? Thanks in advance.

Hi Ravi! Make sure your lemon extract isn’t dyed. Also, if your icing is too thin it can be a bit more transparent, giving it a grayish looking tinge. Try using a clear lemon extract and add a little less water to the icing, or more powdered sugar (if too thin) to thicken and whiten it up a little more. Hope this helps!
