Cookie Day - Christmas season 2010

Friday, December 10th was Cookie Day. Cookie Day is a wonderful, annual event where 3 of us get together to make Cucidati - Sicilian Fig-filled cookies. We all make up the dough and filling a day or two before then we converge at someone's house and cook and chat. We are Pat Pauly, Varsi and me. We use Pat's mother's recipe which calls for 10 cups of flour and 1 pound of butter plus other things and this year it was at my house.
Here we are in the midst of production.
