Italian Cornmeal Spritz Cookies image

A chef at a local culinary school gave me this recipe, and I've been using it for years. Italian cornmeal cookies are from the Piedmont region of northern Italy. They're not too sweet, and the glazed cherries add just the right touch. - Kristine Chayes, Smithtown, New York
