Nothing to do with the original one. Worse recipe ever. Don’t use the name italian just for put out recipe.
do you roll the cookies in the powdered sugar before or after you bake? same question for the almonds. I’ve made russian tea cookies before and rolled the cookies in the powdered sugar immediately AFTER they have been baked. these look so good. can’t wait to make them!
