Ingredients For cookie dough
Directions Put flour on bread board, add Crisco, salt, powdered sugar and roll together. If dough crumbles, add enough milk to hold the dough together.
Notes The recipe in this entry was first published in the cookbook entitled, "Specialita Culinarie Italiane 137 Tested Recipes of Famous Italian Foods, Sold for the benefit of North Bennet's Industrial Training & Social Service Work in the North End of Boston." It was published in Boston, Ma. in 1937. The entire cookbook is available on line for free at "pds.lib.harvard.edu/pds/view." P.S. This type of cookie may have evolved from "sweet ravioli" as it is very similar in looks and in taste but it is much easier to do. In any case I tried this recipe it tasted much better than I had expected. Notes and photo: Mary Melfi. |
