Growing up in a large Italian family surrounded by great food and family. These are recipes that have been in my family for generations and we were taught how to cook by our grandparents. Spending time in the kitchen with family smelling the sweet and savory enlightens all of your senses We use local ingredients and the small batches to make sure the quality is in every cookie. These cookies have no preservatives in them, so when you receive them they are individually packaged and have a shelf life of about 2-3 weeks. Or you can use a freezer bag and freeze them up to 6 months.
