Italian Fig Cookies (Cucidati), Baked in Brooklyn
Our Italian fig cookies are filled with figs, raisins, walnuts, almonds, citrus and warm spice, then wrapped in a tender cookie shell and baked in Brooklyn.
A Sicilian Favorite
Cucidati are traditional Sicilian fig cookies with a fruit-and-nut filling wrapped inside a soft cookie dough. You may also see the name spelled Cuccidati, depending on the family or tradition.
They are especially well known as a Christmas cookie, but plenty of people grew up eating them whenever an Italian bakery tray appeared on the table. Around here, there is no reason to wait for December.
The Filling Is the Whole Point
A good Cucidati should have plenty of filling. Ours combines figs and raisins with walnuts and almonds, along with orange, lemon and spice. The fruit brings the richness, while the nuts and citrus keep the cookie from becoming overly sweet.
- Figs and raisins: Rich fruit flavor and natural sweetness.
- Walnuts and almonds: Add texture and a nutty finish.
- Orange and lemon: Give the filling the bright citrus notes you expect in a traditional fig cookie.
- Tender cookie shell: Soft enough to bite easily while holding all that filling together.
Baked in Brooklyn
Frank & Sal's Italian fig cookies are baked in Brooklyn and packed for shipping throughout the country. They're a natural fit for holiday tables and family gatherings, but they're just as good when all you have planned is a cup of coffee.
