Gluten Free Italian Fig Cookies – Cuccidati – Occidate – Buccellati

Gluten Free Italian Fig Cookie Wreath

Served during Christmas and on St. Joseph’s Day, these Italian fig cookies (Sicilian treasures) were made by my grandmother, aunt, and now two generations of cousins. Make them for any special occasion or holiday. They were not made gluten free, but they are now! Make them soft like Fig Newtons or crunchy like biscotti.

Gluten Free Butter Cookies with Chocolate Coating and Caramel Filling

Gluten Free Sandwich Butter Cookies

While making these gluten free butter cookies, I accidentally browned them a bit too much. I had to think of how to hide my error, and this was my solution. They turned out so delicious, I couldn’t wait to make more. They’re similar to my Gluten Free Girl Scout Samoa Cookies, but they’re sandwich cookies instead, which balances out the sweetness. I also enjoyed the caramel filling more in this recipe. Continue reading “Gluten Free Butter Cookies with Chocolate Coating and Caramel Filling”
