"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
The title is copied from Grandma's own handwriting. I believe that Grandpa made the comment that these cookies were the best filled cookies he ever ate. I agree with him - they are scrumptious. There are other versions of this recipe in this book because it was and still is a family favorite and is still prepared every holiday season.
