Italian Fig Cookies 

Today, I'm using our Farm Fresh Eggs from our back yard chickens! You can watch them on their live stream here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n0E_aZ5C0x8.html

Omg Laura, these are the cookies that my mom always made for Christmas! I've never attempted to make them myself and she has passed away, so I don't have her to ask how to make them properly. I am going to follow your recipe, you've never let me down before, and I'm making these on Christmas Eve. Thank you Laura, I love it when you go all old fashioned Italian Christmas! Take care and Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family. Me and my hubby will be enjoying these and thinking of my mom and dad too. Xoxo

Just made this last night. My aunts make this cookie in Italy when we visit and wanted to recreate. This is extremely close to the authentic ones my aunts would make but I’d say it’s even better. The flavors are incredible. The texture of the cookie is phenomenal. Added this to my new flavor cookies to make every Christmas. Thank you for the recipe!!!

"it's not like you're going ham, here." Favorite commentary! First time watching you. Loved it!

Laura is more entertaining and better at what she does than alot of the people on Food network imo

We love these but haven't had them homemade before. My grandchildren call these Papa's biscuits, they love them too. Thank you for such a fabulous recipe x

Can't wait to try this out. I just followed your stuffed shells recipe for my potluck at work!

OMG!! Crying at that outtake at the end! You never cease to amaze me with your neverending, beyond amazing recipes, Laura! All the best to you and the fam for a blessed Christmas and an excellent New Year to come!! 🤗💛🙏🏼

One of my favorite cookies!! When I was younger I thought they were really fancy fig newton cookies that you could only eat at Christmas or Palm Sunday.

Struggled every year making these. You gave me excellent tips in filling and rolling. My filling went smoothly and so enjoyed making them this year. Many thanks and Buona Natale!

The one thing you mention that I really like is the foods you grew up with. I love to reminisce over the good things in life! Keep on showing us your childhood favorites that inspires me!

I hope everyone who sees this video is happy😃😃

Love how you show us what are the italian classics 🥰

You made me so happy today!! Fig cookies are my favorite!!! Thank you 😘💕💕

My mom made these for my Christmas Around the World in the 3rd grade. I’ve always thought of them as the Italian version of fig newtons. I’m going to have to make these soon!

Fig is a FAVORITE of mine! ❤️😍 THANK YOU LAURA V!!! ❤️❤️❤️🔥 Happy holidays 🎄✨.

Laura Vitale is an amazing Chef and Baker

My part of Sicily calls them cuddureddi. My mom makes them every Christmas using the figs from our backyard. Everyone loves them. My mom prepares the filling a couple days in advance so the flavors are more intense. Buon Natale, Laura e famiglia!

I would love to see a freezer tour. I want to see what you have stashed in there.

I love everything from Laura! First thing to go at RU-vid. Wish Laura and your family a great holiday!

They look amazing. Love those. Thank you.

You rock, Laura. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I appreciate this video. I have an old family recipe. Its different from yours but watching your video helped me with questions about the process

I love fig cookies. I have to save this recipe. First, I'm making your jelly doughnut recipe in a few days. Thank you for the tip about leaving refrigerated dough out at room temperature for an hour. Very helpful. Merry Christmas!

You are such a delight!! I enjoy your videos so much!! And, honestly have really learned a lot as well!! So thank you!😉😊

I haven’t had fig cookies in thirty years...will try recipe..

YUM! Merry Christmas Laura to you and your family.

YES!!! I LOVE THESE!! I CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE THEM!!

PEOPLE Don't forget to take stem off the dried figs! Or they will break your teeth.

Learning quite a few recipes. It's Great making food.

It looks so delicious. Happy New Year.💕

Hola Laura, Hope you're enjoying the holidays with your family, and looking forward to the new year! 🎉 I have a suggestion for a possible future recipe...Torrene! Would love to see your take on it, as the recipes I've seen use sugar or honey, almonds, pistachios, dried fruit...lot of variety out there. Take care and looking forward to more vids in 2020!!

Mmmm...I can't wait to make these!!!

I love fig cookies!!! Thanks for sharing!!! ❤❤❤

They are perfect indeed

My absolute favorite, fig cookie. The Bronx Bakeries made them. Omg. Delicious. Burke Ave, Bronx NY. And, probably The Little Italy of the Bronx too. East 187th Street bakeries. Omg.

Looks so good and yummy

Hi Laura! I love your channel and I wish you a merry Christmas! Could you please make a Porchetta someday?

Buon natale Laura e famiglia grazie della spiegazione buoni 😊😋

Have a Merry Christmas!

I have to try these. I love figs.

Wonderful recipe...will surely try them. Lots of love from India

This is the first cooking video of 2020. Happy new year everyone💐 God Bless 😇

Thanks Laura.

Look so cute and yum!

These look so goood

My favorite part of the entire video: At 12:35, Laura stumbles over her words, and says, "Why can't I talk today?" That is so honest, humorous and funny, I am laughing my head off. LOL

They are delicious 👍🏻🌹

amazing !

Merry Christmas Laura

The camerawork really keeps me in a trance.

Delicious 👍

Love fig cookies 🎄👌❤

Thank you for this recipe! What do I do if I don't have a food processor?

LOOK'D GOOD!!!!

Sounds delicious! T-222 till I go to Orvieto Italy!!

I love Laura

Those look delicious. The thumbnail of this video makes the fig cookies look bite sized when they are not at all. Bite sized cookies would likely dry out. These look succulent.

I love you so much Laura❤️❤️

Hi Laura, could you show us how to make khunafa..an arabic dessert?

Please show us how it looks before you take it out of the mixer and before you knead it.

What can you use to substitute the alcohol in the filling? Or can you completely omit that ingredient? Thanks!

I saw a version of these that were made with lard.

Fig rolls are delicious.

Are you able to use any kind of liquor? Would an orange liquor be too much?

could you do this with other fruit in case of allergies?

Mmmmm yummy my favorite 🎅🎄⛄

Yummy 😋

Good job Laura :-)

I do love fresh figs but I wonder if I could just pop them into a 200F oven low and slow to enhance the flavor. Hmm.

Love its!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

We have the same chopper but mine is red

I have to find dried fish, because I live in the boondocks and there's no way I can get them around here. Then I'll be making this recipe. It looks yummy.

Looks yummy. One question, why did you freeze them for ten minutes?

I have a question. I use fresh figs because I have a fig tree but ALL the recipes call for dried. So my fresh figs have so much moisture it is too runny. How can I thicken it up? FYI the recipe I use just blends the fig mixture and doesn't actually cook it. Could I cook some moisture out?

Super 🍀 🎄🎄🎄

🔔🎄Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family... May 2020 bring you good health and happiness xoxo

What can I replace for the alcohol in this recipe please ?

Woww

Does anyone know if she has a recipe for crostata alla nutella??

Yum

Hi Laura ,can I use some thing else instead of vegetable shortening please

You are amazing

Merry Christmas

Were did u put the honey ?

Can you make lemon squares next? :)

Published on my birthday

Your cookie sheets are two-stacked. Do you double the sheets up?

Do you ever make anything that doesn't turn out? When you try it you're like oh no...

How can I store these so they last over the holiday?

Boa noite tem como você colocar a legenda no português do Brasil pois não sei nada de inglês gostaria de entender o passo a passo das suas receitas beijos ❤❤❤

Good evening Laura watching you start on the dough noticed your vace with the Christmas balls the top three look like mickey mouse love it

Making Sicilian figs now. ❤❤❤

Could these be made with dates?

I mince the figs in the mincer , because I make a Christmas Cake ,gorgeous!

This is easier if you just pipe the filling and roll the cookie and cut the dough as your making each round , rather then cut it in 1/2 and cut them down to the size u want

Omg Cuccidates! Yes Sicilians have our own version. This also sounds and looks good too! 💜🌈 Would love to also try this!

Delicioso!

Please show the ingredients here. Thank you.

вайй, надо повторить 🤩
