Storage: Italian wedding cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week

Italian wedding cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you stack the cookies, place a piece of parchment paper between each layer to prevent sticking.

You can also freeze Italian wedding cookies, but it's best to freeze the dough before baking and rolling in powdered sugar.

To store the cookies, allow them to cool for 15 minutes before placing them in an airtight container. This will prevent them from becoming cool and not "slightly cooled".

When storing the cookies, warm cookies will allow the sugar to adhere better, so it's important to keep them in a warm environment.

If you want to store the cookies for a longer period, you can refrigerate the dough for 10 minutes before baking and rolling in powdered sugar. This will make it easier to handle the dough and prevent it from becoming too hard or dry.

Allowing the cookies to cool for 15 minutes is too long, and you end up with cool, not "slightly cooled" cookies. I think warm cookies will allow the sugar to adhere better, so I'll definitely cut back that timing in the future.

A little bit of work to make, but time well spent.

Baking: Cooling cookies for 15 minutes is too long, as they become cool rather than slightly cooled

Italian wedding cookies are a tender, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth treat that are not overly sweet. The star of these cookies is the almonds. They are best served warm and will allow the sugar to adhere better. Cooling cookies for 15 minutes is too long, as they become cool rather than slightly cooled.

When making Italian wedding cookies, it is important to preheat the oven to 350°F. Using a heavy-duty mixer, beat the eggs at high speed until light and foamy, about five minutes. Mix in 4 tsp vanilla extract, 3/4 cup ground walnuts, and 3/4 cup ground hazelnuts. Start adding in the flour little by little until mixed in. For easier handling, freeze or refrigerate the dough for 10 minutes or so.

Prepare your largest cookie sheet and using a small spoon (or small ice-cream scoop) form the cookies into balls, the size of a golfball or smaller. Allow the cookies to cool for about 15 minutes, then roll them in remaining confectioners' sugar.
