ITALIAN CENCI COOKIES
My mother brought this special family recipe from Europe a century ago. Cenci can be "dressed up" for any holiday-at Easter, I sprinkle yellow, pink and lavender jelly beans over them, and for Christmas, red and green candy sprinkles give the cenci a festive look. Even without the garnish, they always disappear fast! -Anna Coduto, Fullerton, California

WANDI'S, NEAPOLITIN BALLS OR STRUFFOLI
Growing up in a Swedish and Italian family these were always made for the Easter holidays! On my gram's side (swede's) we know them as Wandi's, on the Italian side we call them Struffoli's. No matter what we called them, we licked the platter clean! From my family's own personal recipe!

Steps:
- 1. Blend the flour, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. Mix in the butter with a pastry blender or fork. Blend in the vanilla and eggs 2 at a time. The batter should be like very thick cookie dough.
- 2. Knead the dough for 5 minutes until very smooth. Flour your hands when the dough gets sticky. Place the dough on a floured board and form into a large ball, dust lightly with flour and cover with a clean cloth and let sit for 30 minutes.
- 3. STRUFFOLI/WANDI'S: Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4" thick and cut into strips about 1 1/2" wide and 10" to 12" long. Shape into bows or roll into semi loose coils. Fry in hot oil and dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
- 4. NEAPOLITAN BALLS: Divide dough into 4 parts. Roll each part into a long rope about 1/2" thick and cut into 1/2" pieces. Fry pieces in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, drizzle with warm honey. Can add a pinch of orange or lemon peel to the honey for extra flavor. Decorate with colored sprinkles after drizzling with honey or omit the honey and dust with powdered sugar.
