Cuccidati (also known variously as buccellati, Italian fig cookies or Sicilian fig cookies) are fig-stuffed cookies originating in Sicily, traditionally served at Christmas time.[1][2]
Cuccidati
Alternative names
Buccellati, Italian fig cookie, Sicilian fig cookie
The outer cookie is pastry dough, covered with icing and typically topped with rainbow sprinkles. The filling generally consists of some combination of walnuts, dates, figs, honey, spices and orange or apricot jam.[3] The pastry is rolled around the filling, and rolls are either cut into short tubes, or curved around to form a "bracelet".
Variationsedit
When ring-shaped these may be known as buccellati, meaning 'little bracelets', and are a diminutive form of buccellato, a larger fig-filled ring cake. The ingredients are as varied as the names the cookies are called by, apparently a function of the town or region in which they are made. Other towns call them nucciddati (nut cookies), zucciddati, ucciddati, vucciddati and, as in Serradifalco, pucciddati. That town's version includes ground figs and dates, nuts, and orange rinds.
