This cookie recipe reminds me of so many that my Italian relatives made over the years. Great idea to make MJ's Dinner Party Chicken and put your extra ricotta to good use, too.<br /><br />TGIF!<br />~ Cleo <a href="http://www.coffeehousemystery.com/" rel="Cleo Coylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557517506340986862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-27348259520675188132011-04-15T10:21:27.481-04:002011-04-15T10:21:27.481-04:00MJ- I have the "other" Italian cookie re...MJ- I have the "other" Italian cookie recipe, but it's so long and involved and time consuming that I haven't shared it here.

Thanks for an excellent solution, Julie! I'll be trying these. It is almost impossible to get recipes from my elderly Italian relatives, and they do make soft cookies. Now I'll be a step ahead.Mary Jane Maffinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00915831422058413668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-49319653519152969632011-04-15T08:53:04.589-04:002011-04-15T08:53:04.589-04:00Elizabeth - MJ's chicken is great.

For some unknown reason I want to add anise seed (and I don't even like it that much).
