Mandelbrot
The name of this cookie, alternately spelled as mandelbrod, translates to “almond bread” in German and Yiddish. It is a crisp, dry cookie, good for dunking into coffee or tea, and makes a nice breakfast biscuit.
Cucidati (Italian Fig Cookies)
This delicious Sicilian cookie is often served on March 19, the feast day of St. Joseph, which is an important Italian holiday. We think this traditional Italian cookie makes a nice Christmas treat as well.
