Italian Cookies
These are the Italian Cookies that I have on the site:
I get lots of requests for Italian cookie recipes, or for recipes for cookies that are sold in Italian bakeries. These are often difficult for several reasons:
1) In Italy, some cookies (and other dishes, too) are specific to certain regions. They may not be known all over Italy.
2) Some cookies are known by different names in different regions of Italy, sometimes even by different names in different families. Sometimes the same name refers to different cookies according to the region of Italy you're in.
3) Some cookies sold in Italian bakeries in the U.S. are really "Italian-American" cookies, not Italian cookies. These cookies were created by Italian families or Italian bakers in the U.S., not in Italy.
4) The biggest obstacle in helping people find recipes for Italian cookies is that people often don't know the name of the cookies. I have no way to search for a cookie by how it looks or tastes. Sorry.
If you know the name of the cookie, search my site with the search feature before writing. There are lots of Italian cookie recipes on my site. If you don't know the name of the cookie, go here:

There are photos and descriptions of dozens of Italian Cookies there. Perhaps you can determine which cookie you want from them.
