These Buccellati cookies, also known as Cuccidati or Turtigliuna, are Sicilys most famous Christmas cookies. Martha fills the butter dough with a delicious combination of figs, pecans, and raisins. The recipe yields 50 cookies and includes a filling made with dried figs, raisins, honey, brandy, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, orange zest, vanilla, salt, and finely chopped roasted pecans. The dough is made with all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and orange zest. The dough is divided into two halves, rolled into rectangles, and chilled until firm. The filling is rolled into logs, frozen, and then wrapped in the dough. The cookies are cut into 2-inch pieces, shaped into crescents, and baked until golden brown. The cookies are then glazed with a mixture of egg whites, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. These cookies are a delicious and festive addition to any holiday celebration.
