"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:
Mom made these wonderful cookies every Christmas. They take a while to make, but they are well worth the time! It was funny, but Mom would always measure out the 12 Tbs. of powdered sugar. I asked her one time why she didn't just measure the 12 Tbs. into a measuring cup...that would be so much faster, but she said that the recipe called for 12 Tbs. and that was how she was going to do it. I do it that way too...I love my Mom!
