These Sicilian cookies are delicious fig-filled pastries. You can substitute the figs with dried dates. Hazelnuts can also be used in place of walnuts.

Cuccidati are the best Italian Christmas cookies. With a buttery shortcrust dough, stuffed with nutty fig filling, and glazed with sprinkles.

These gems are also known as cucciddati or cucidati in Sicilian dialect. But nothing says Christmas to me like these Christmas cookies. These are full of a filling of dried figs and nuts and the spices of holidays. You can serve them glazed and decorated with colored sprinkles, like they do in Palermo, or simply dusted with confectioner's sugar. These surely don't last long in my house, so make a big batch and share them with family and friends.
