I grew up with quite a few Italian bakeries around town. I've searched for ten years for a recipe. Found it on pinterest! Now I'm on a search for the colored ones with the sprinkles on them. I don't know what they're called though. : )

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 cupflour
  2. 1/2 cupcornstarch
  3. 1/2 cupbutter, softened
  4. 1/2 cupshortening
  5. 1 1/4 cuppowdered sugar
  6. 1 1/2 tspvanilla extract
  7. 2eggs

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cream butter and shortening until fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs (one at a time) until blended.

  2. 2

    Add dry ingredients, flour, cornstarch and powdered sugar, mix until blended.

  3. 3

    Using a piping bag with star tip, make quarter size circles on cookie sheet. Make a couple first, if they spread out to much just add 1/4 cup more of flour and cornstarch. I did this because the first few spread out to much. This tip was in the recipe. I guess it's an altitude issue.

  4. 4

    Bake at 375 for 12 to. 15 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Remove to rack to cool.

  5. 5

    Melt chocolate and dip cookies into chocolate and put on rack to set. You can use sprinkles also, they look pretty.

Hi there. Great job on the recipe. I would have sent a cook snap, but they disappeared too quickly. If you want them sprinkled, just find a good recipe for royal icing. Then you can sprinkle sprinkles on that.
