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.
Filled cookies
Greek Custard Pieces (Bougatsa)
This Greek dessert of custard-filled phyllo can be served in larger squares as a pastry, or smaller squares as a cookie. It’s delicious either way.
Moroccan Phyllo Nut Rolls
Rich, flaky, and drizzled in syrup, these Moroccan cookies are similar to the Greek baklava.
Peruvian Sandwich Cookies with White Caramel
We have also seen these caramel-filled cookies described as an Argentine treat.
Sesame Thumbprints
These got their name because bakers often make the hollows in the cookies with their thumb. Since the cookies are hot, it’s better to use a wooden spoon or dowel.
