Viuscitine




These cookies were my Italian Grandma's specialty. There was never a single moment that I was in her company that Viuscitine's (we pronounced them wisk-a-tina's - stupido Americanas) were not around.

They are made without any added fat, other than eggs, and were used within my grandmother's Sicilian family to sooth teething babies. They also make adults very, very happy.

Beat in mixer for 30 mins (remember, my ancestors did this by hand so it must be very very important)
3 eggs
1 1/8 c sugar

Add:
1 tsp vanilla
2 c flour

Let batter sit for 10-15 minutes.
Bake at 350 for 8-10 mins on lightly greased baking sheet.
