Cuccidati are Sicilian Christmas cookies with rich shortcrust pastry, filled with a fig mixture and less sweetness than modern cookies, perfect for holiday celebrations.
Recipe developer Michelle Bottalico’s cuccidati recipe breaks down traditional Italian methods into simplified steps for making various shapes, keeping the same great taste.
These cookies yield a significant batch of 90, ideal for sharing, and can be refrigerated or frozen, making them perfect for the entire Christmas season.
The fig filling incorporates toasted nuts, dark chocolate, raisins, spices, and Marsala wine, offering a complex flavor that pairs beautifully with the citrus-flavored dough.
