ITALIAN ORANGE-FIG COOKIES RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE IT
This is one of the first holiday cookies I made when I found out I could no longer eat gluten. In those eight years, six of my family members and friends have also had to give up gluten, so these delicious Italian cookies have now become a treasured holiday tradition for all of us. By the way, no one will know they're gluten free unless you tell them! The cookies last for weeks if stored in a dry place. —Suzanne Banfield, Basking Ridge, New Jersey

ITALIAN FIG COOKIES (CUCIDATI): THE ORIGINAL SICILIAN RECIPE
These fig cookies go by many names: Cucidati, Sicilian fig cookies, Christmas fig cookies…no matter what you call them, they are delicious. The traditional recipe produces a buttery sugar cookie with notes of orange and lemon. The cookies originated in Sicily, and today most families have their own recipe that has come along for generations, each with their own twist.

ITALIAN FIG COOKIES RECIPE | LAURA IN THE KITCHEN ...
From laurainthekitchen.com
- 1) In a saucepan, add all the ingredients for the filling except the nuts, simmer on very low heat for about 20 minutes, then remove from the heat and allow it to sit and cool for about an hour, meanwhile, let's work on the dough. 2) In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter, shortening and both kinds of sugar for a couple minutes, then add the vanilla, zests and egg and combine for another minute. 3) Add the flour, salt, cinnamon and cloves, while slowly adding the milk and mix everything until incorporated (don't panic, dough will be very sticky at this point) then dump the sticky dough on a floured surface and pull it into a disk (you might have to add more flour as you pull it together) wrap in plastic wrap and pop it in the freezer for an hour. 4) Once the dough is ready, add the fig mixture and nuts in a high power blender and puree until smooth (add a touch of orange juice if the mixture has thickened too much) add the mixture to a large resealable plastic wrap and set aside. 5) Divide the dough into 2 pieces, roll each piece on a floured surface nice and thin but not thin enough that it's see-through (about a 12x14 inch rectangle) cut out 4 4x12 inch strips, pipe out some of the filling in the center of each one, and fold starting from the left into thirds (please watch the video to see how I do this because it's hard to explain) cut them into 2 inch pieces, place them on a parchment paper baking sheet and pop them in the freezer for 10 minutes. 6) While in the freezer, preheat your oven to 350 degrees, then pop the cookies in (lower and middle rack) and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the bottom edges are golden (don't overcook) allow them to cool completely (leave them on the baking sheet). 7) Make the glaze by whisking together the sugar and orange juice, while the glaze is wet, sprinkle the sprinkles on top so they stick. Allow the glaze to set then dig in!
