ABOUT THE RECIPE:
"Ruth Benedetto is a medical technologist who for years has made and given cookie platters for Christmas gifts an other special occasions. The doctors she works for and their assistants always look forward to getting their favorites as well as the new cookies Ruth tries to add each year. Three or four years ago, Ruth found this Lemon Italian Cookies recipe in one of the many cookbooks in her collection. "This recipe came from a book that was written partly in Italian, so I feel sure these are authentic." Ruth said."
