Anginetti
This cookie is on most Italian families table’s at Christmas time. This is a plain cookie but it is so delicious with a nice cup of espresso or even a cup of cold milk for the kids. The addition of the citrus undertones makes this cookie so fragrant and festive. The icing lends the perfect sweetness to the cookie and everyone loves sprinkles!
