Italian Egg Biscuit Cookies

In the ninth grade I had a very peculiar relationship with egg biscuits…

Let’s put it this way, I had peculiar eating habits in general. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to go all day without eating and then come home from school and gorge myself on egg biscuits and pudding snacks. Not wise.

Thankfully, my eating habits have improved. I eat small meals and snacks throughout the day and I have developed a healthy relationship with egg biscuits. Though, I’m still working on the pudding snacks.

I made this recipe with my Mom last weekend. We found the recipe in my Mom’s collection, which consists of Mom’s own creations, my Nani’s recipes, and recipe clippings from the 80s. I think this recipe came from a women’s magazine from the 80s. Not sure though.

These taste great with a cup of tea or coffee.

    I concur. I am sure my family would as well…we ate all of the egg biscuits you brought over within a couple of days.

    These are gorgeous. I used to gorge on food. But lessons learned after feeling really bad. But when it comes to buffet, I have the tendency to do that again. I never had Italian Egg Biscuit Cookies. They do make a great gift. I love your profile photo – it’s carefree and worry free.
