Can these cookies be prepped ahead of time? The best tip I suggest is to prep the filling even a few days ahead. Do the dough the night before. It has to be nice and chilled. The day you're ready to bake them, let the dough rest a few minutes before rolling it out.
How do you store these cuccidati? Cuccidati are great to bake ahead of time as they store nicely.. Store in a sealed container with parchment or wax paper between the layers. Can you freeze cuccidati? Yes! These cookies freeze very well!Freeze for up to three months in an airtight container.
