These were a hit! Everyone loved these. They are easy to make and also quick to cook. Although mine were a little dry, they were still delicious. One thing is that i ran out of butter and so i had to substitute with oil, however they turned out the same so that was great. Definitely a keeper! Thanks for posting this

I chose this recipe for Christmas cookies and rolled them in confectioners sugar. They were a perfect compliment to my other more elaborate dessert (which was also easy to make) a chocolate trifle with hazelnut liqueur. I think you could experiment with different flavored extracts, too. I've made them twice and they are becoming a favorite. Thank you!

These cookies are nothing like the italian cookies I would get in NY at the bakeries. They taste okay, a little on the dry side. Will keep looking for a better recipe.

These are really good, I expected a firmer, more dense cookie, but was pleasantly surprised at how light and airy these are. To coat with the powdered sugar, I placed the sugar into a quart-size bag and tossed in two hot cookies at a time, gave a little shake, and took them out of the bag. Perfectly powdered and no mess. Thanks for a great recipe!

I thought this was a pretty simple recipe and it definately was! I loved the taste of the almond and thought it was going to taste too sweet with confectioners but I found them to be light and airy and definately worthy of an Italian cookie I remember from my youth. I would recommend doubling the recipe as this ony yielded 30 cookies for me.

These are one of the easiest, best Italian cookies I have ever made. They are light and airy, and very good. The almond flavour makes them unique and very tastsy.

These were good. They were pretty easy to make but I just love sweet sweets. These weren't too sweet so they weren't my kind of cookie.

Being married to a man, who is 100% Italian, brings about challenges, when trying to find a "true" Italian recipe. I have had these cookies at various family functions, and I have to say that this recipe is as close as it gets! My mother-in-law actually thought that I purchased these from a local Italian market! Excellent recipe, and VERY easy to make!
