Christmas cookies are a big favorite in the Light house and I’m so glad we are carrying on a tradition with my grandmother’s Italian Drop Cookies and making new memories – exactly what the holidays is all about! One of my favorite ways to bond with my girls is to bake yummy treats with them. With her recipes, Italian heritage and special traditions we hold dearly in our hearts we honor her today and the amazing person she was… This cookie is in honor of my sweet Grandma and for my girls so they’ll always have a piece of their great grandma here documented on my blog. At the end of the recipe she wrote “Good Luck” - oh Grammie how I miss you so! And yes I called her “Grammie” and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss her. I was so excited to find this recipe because I remember her making them and they were one of my favorites! Seeing her handwriting gave me all the feels. It had been tucked away in some boxes that hadn’t been unpacked yet from their last move. My mom recently found my grandma’s old recipe box. In the past I’ve shared her recipes here on the blog, like her amazing Calamari and delicious Pizzelles – you can find those recipes by heading here, here. Her cooking was filled with love and I will never forget her kind, generous, and caring ways. Growing up with an Italian grandmother was the absolute BEST! My grandma and I were very close and the bond we shared was so special. The cookie I’ll be sharing for our Christmas Cookie Swap is very special to me – it’s my grandma’s Italian Drop Cookie recipe.
