After trying my hand at countless sesame cookie recipes, my Italian girlfriend shared her Aunt Anne's recipe and I knew my search had ended! Basically an anise flavored butter cookie covered in sesame seeds. The smell when removing them from the oven is wonderful!

This recipe came from my great grandmother's family who came from Sweden somewhere near the end of the last century. NOTE: You can also add 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa to this recipe. It makes the cookies taste like brownie cookies.

You must have a pizzelle iron to make these wafer thin cookies. My pizzelle iron is the single cookie iron that you break into 4 triangles.

This biscotti-like cookie is lighter and softer in texture than the traditional Italian version. This 'twice baked' cookie is enjoyable with a cup of coffee or anytime.

Rolled pastry with a walnut filling. These nut rolls have been a family favorite for years. They are one of the most requested items for every party we are invited to. They freeze really well, so you don't mind making so many of them.

A beloved memory from long-gone dim sum restaurants in Hawaii, these cookies contain no almonds, but have the taste of almonds in a fat, round little cookie with a traditional red dot in the middle.

This recipe comes from Christmas, 1961. These bars have a light, tart frosting. This dough needs to ripen for a couple of days, but it's worth it.
