Does anyone have a really good/authentic/family recipe for Cuccidati? (Italian Fig Bars)??
My grandmother (from Scicilly) made the best ones...and of course she didnt use a recipe..and regretfully I never watched or wrote it down before she passed away.
I can google search a bunch...but just wondering if you have one that you swear by..or your family recipe you would be willing to share?
My kids want to bring back the tradition of her cookies...!
Thanks so much

I have a cookie that has figs in it a couple of years ago...it is not a bar though...you cut out circles, put a filling of figs, etc in it and seal it up like a little half moon...let me know if you would like it and I will see if I can dig it up...

What a coincidence. I receive Taste of Home newsletter and that was the feature recipe for today. If you can't get it from the site let me know and I will email to you.

I found one on razzledazzlerecipes.com
I was going to try it.... my Aunt says it is very similar to one that her grandmother from Naples used.

Hope it works....
I was going to try to start baking next week.
My husband's aunt told me that her grandmother used to decorate with powdered sugar and red and green nonpareils to look like the Italian flag.
I figured I would try it.... if it is good, it can be a tradition for my boys too.
