A simple filling for Italian cannoli cookies using ricotta cheese and citron fruit.
Filled Cookies
Lady Lock Filling II
This is a very simple cream filling. It can be frozen, and will not weep! I usually double the recipe for 1 batch of lady locks (approximately 120 cookies.) Use a pastry bag to fill cookies. You can freeze the cookies after filling.
Melting Moments III
A yummy cookie! It is easy and quick to make. Makes a great Colossal Cookie, if you use a small pizza pan and cover with jam.
Orange Date Pinwheel Cookies
The tang of the orange and sweetness of the dates combine to produce a rich, wonderful cookie.
Cannoli III
When in a hurry I buy my cannoli shells from an Italian Deli. I drain my ricotta in a strainer covered with cheese cloth so the filling holds up longer. Very tasty and you can add more chocolate chips or less depending on your preference.
Cannoli II
These are an Italian cookie with the traditional ricotta cheese filling. You will need a pizzelle iron and cooking cylinders to form the cookies.
Rugelach with Cream Cheese Filling
I took a rugelach recipe and invented my own filling with cream cheese instead of fruit spread. It came out so tasty I had to share it!
Nana Bessie’s Whoopie Pies
I’ve never been able to find whoopie pies this good! My grandmother always made them — the secret is in the filling. I give them out at Christmas time, everyone looks forward to them. The recipe makes extra filling — doubles as a great cake frosting!
Filled Apricot Cookies
This is an excellent apricot cookie recipe and it only has 3 ingredients besides the apricot preserves. It has a light flaky dough and isn’t too sweet.
Walnut Cups
Everyone in my family loves this cookie, they’re like little pecan pies, and you can make them with pecans instead of walnuts if you choose. You will need a mini muffin pan for this recipe.
Chocolate Drop Cookies II
These are chocolate cookies with marshmallows on top covered by chocolate frosting. This was my mom’s recipe from the fifties.
Italian Special Sweet Fried Ravioli Cookies
Fried ravioli cookie with a chick pea and chocolate filling. This recipe gets extra points for originality!
