This recipe has been in our Sicilian family for years. Every Christmas season, I get together with my daughters and continue the tradition of making these.
Grandma Nina’s seeded cookies
My mother and I made these and before she passed away.
She said to me “Remember to make the seeded cookies at Christmas.”
Over the years, we have made modifications to gluten free version using gluten-free flour.
We always look forward to making these, and my daughters have mastered them.
