Italian Lemon Drop Cookies, or “Anginetti,” are beloved traditional treats in Italy, offering a burst of lemony freshness in every soft, cake-like bite. These cookies are a fixture in Italian homes, particularly during festive seasons and special events like weddings. Though their exact beginnings are a bit obscure, they are thought to have originated in Southern Italy and have since captivated palates globally. The appeal of these cookies is in their straightforward recipe and the delightful balance of citrusy flavor, perfectly complemented by a light, sweet glaze.
