Absolutely Delicious. I've been looking for a traditional Italian cookie to add to my holiday cookie recipes, and these are the best. I received more complements on these cookies than any I've made. They are great with coffee and tea, and just so tastey. I'll be making them for many years to come.
Excellent! Very easy for kids to make in the knot shape. Tried using other flavors, but the almond was the best. We made the knots and drizzled with the glaze. My family liked these cookies so much that we will be making these year round!
These were great. Halved the recipe and used almond extract. Made it in heart shapes and drizzled the glaze over. So good! A Big day for my family when christmas come soon. Undoubtedly my daughters love it and she will take to she's school!
