Cookbook author, TV host and celebrity chef Lidia Bastianich is one of the most famous Italian cooks in the U.S. She’s also a successful restaurateur, with eight restaurants specializing in Italian and Italian-American cuisine.
Plump with ricotta, Lidia's chocolate chip cookie is not the golden tollhouse cookie of your American dreams. This is a pillowy soft little bite that will remind you of your favorite Italian bakery, the kind of thing that ought to come in a box tied with a red string.
In her Parade cover story, Lidia Bastianich shared her Christmas memories and favorite holiday traditions, including these cookies, which were inspired by her grandmother ‘s Italian treats.
