I’ve been trying to make the italian butter cookies that I’ve always bought in NY bakeries.  I found a recipe online.  Piped out the dough, baked them, sandwiched them with raspberry jam, dipped them in chocolate and sprinkles.  They looked great!  Didn’t taste right.  Does anyone have a recipe for these?

I tried to post a pic…can’t seem to get it to work.  Perhaps there a problem with the computer at the hospital where I’m working now (Notice how hard I’m working right now!  LOL)

Bill,
Hope that you fine the recipe that you are looking for.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Here’s the pic…finally solved the problem.  Such a technophobe!

Foget it…it didn’t work.  No pic

A lot of Italian cookie recipes are based on “pasta frolla”—have you taken a look at some Italian dessert cookbooks? I love Nick Malgieri’s “Great Italian Desserts.”

I didn’t look in that book.  I don’t think they are really “Italian”.  I think they are a new york thing…that are just called Italian butter cookies.  In any event, I sent Nick Malgieri an email through his website, perhaps he will answer!
