Lemon drop cookies, iced Italian cookies or anginetti, whatever your family calls them you’ll be sure to find these traditional Italian cookies at many special occasions and holiday cookie trays.
Has the Christmas fever started shaking you?
The start of the holidays is earlier and earlier every year, with Christmas displays and decoration on the high street even before Halloween is over. Arranging family travel in advance to secure reasonable ticket prices, imagining how we will decorate our tree and homes, and thinking how we can outdo last year’s celebrations. All this effort culminates over two weeks of Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
I’m probably late on the band wagon with these cookies, but honestly, why Christmas fever starts early?
Are we craving the break ? Are the holidays an excuse for a break that many of us truly need?
Is it a spiritual time or are we just happy for the break? Perhaps all of the above!
It’s rarely we have chances to slow down, visit family, visit friends or simple just take time to stay in our pajamas all day watching movies if that is what we choose, or perhaps make some other treat that is quick, easy AND delicious, like these lemon drop cookies.
They take very little time and you will become the star of the day by serving them to those you love.
Honestly, there are so many variations to this cookie, just do a Google search and you’ll see what I mean, Lemon drop cookies, iced Italian cookies or anginetti, whatever your family calls them you’ll be sure to find these traditional Italian cookies at many special occasions and holiday cookie trays. Their lightly sweet taste is again as most Italian cookies, perfect for dipping in espresso…..or wine!
