This is Fran's grandmother's recipe from Italy. I begged Fran for the recipe after visiting her grandmother in New York. Meeting Fran's grandmother, Jenny, in 1978 was more than a visit...it was an experience. The house was filled with the aroma of tomato sauce simmer for hours with homemade Italian sausage.
After the best Italian meal I ever had we had these cookies. I don't know if it was just the entire experience, but they were the best cookies I ever had! - Brenda Dawson
