So we have passed our first week in our new house in the Itri hills in Italy. It was a week of hauling our things to the new house an hour and a half away. A hectic week of getting situated and figuring out how things work in the new place. But what better way to cozy up in a new house then to bake a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies?
Here is a classic recipe from the little blue vinyl cook book from my childhood. I’m not sure where my mom got this recipe but it was always a favorite and so easy to make when you are having a serious dessert craving and you have nothing in the house to eat. In fact, that is just what happened while I was home visiting my mom.
Homemade Cannoli
(You will need cannoli molds and pastry bags to make these, I ordered mine at Amazon.com and they were under $10 and arrived in a few days. You can fry the shells a few days before filling them so it’s a great “do-ahead” recipe and a real crowd pleaser!
