Voted # 1 by my family! These are tasty sweet almond and pine nut Italian cookies, bite sized, easy to make and will fly off the plate. I usually make a double batch. About thirty some years ago after tasting these delectable morsels, I asked my husband’s cousin, Connie Mazzacavallo, for the recipe and she very graciously shared it. And I share it with you. Enjoy!!!
