You know you've been good if Santa fills your stocking with these delicious raspberry and chocolate-filled Christmas treats.

Why do some cookies contain both shortening and butter?  Shortening--which maintains its texture over a wide temperature range--helps keep cookies from spreading too much during baking.  Butter gives cookies that rich, yummy flavor.

Did You Know...             

Try strawberry jam instead of raspberry for another great taste in those filled holiday goodies.

Start with prepared stuffing mix for these easy mushroom appetizers, with plenty of tangy Cheddar cheese.

cheddar stuffed mushrooms

Instead of Cheddar, stuff these mushrooms with your favorite cheese; try crumbled blue cheese, feta or shredded Swiss.

Ingredient Substitution

Wash sand or soil off the mushrooms by swishing them briefly in a large bowl of cool water. Lift them out and transfer them to another bowl. Repeat two more times with fresh water. Do not dump the bowl of mushrooms into a colander; sand from the bottom of the bowl will end up on top of the mushrooms. Gently dry mushrooms with a paper towel.

Kitchen Tip

Stuff the mushrooms one day ahead of serving time, cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.

Here are essential ingredients you’ll need to create these Italian Christmas Cookies.CookiesAll-Purpose Flour:&nbsp;This provides the structure for the cookies. It binds the wet ingredients together and creates the dough's foundation.Granulated Sugar:&nbsp;Sugar adds sweetness, of course, but it also contributes to the cookies' tenderness and browning.Butter:&nbsp;Butter adds richness, flavor, and tenderness to the cookies. Softened butter is crucial for proper creaming with the sugar, which incorporates air and creates a light texture.Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese: Ricotta, a soft Italian cheese, is mild and creamy, not salty, and its addition to the dough yields a texture that’s silky and melt-in-your-mouth tender — using a whole-milk variety is crucial to the success of this recipe.Grated Lemon Peel:&nbsp;Lemon peel adds a bright, citrusy flavor that notches back the sweetness of a sugar cookie without overwhelming it.Eggs:&nbsp;Eggs bind the ingredients together, add moisture, and contribute to the cookies' structure.Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Baking powder, salt, vanilla.FrostingPowdered Sugar:&nbsp;Powdered sugar forms the base of the frosting, providing sweetness and structure.Lemon Juice:&nbsp;Lemon juice adds a tangy flavor to the frosting that complements the lemon in the cookies. It also helps to create the right consistency for spreading.Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Gel food colors (optional), candy sprinkles (optional).

Recipe Ingredients

<h3>1. Mix Dry Ingredients</h3>Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Make sure your baking powder is fresh for proper leavening.<h3>2. Mix Remaining Ingredients&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>Beat sugar, softened butter, whole milk ricotta cheese, and lemon peel until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Make sure your butter is <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/how-to/ingredients-and-preparation/how-to-soften-butter">properly softened</a> for smooth creaming.<h3>3. Combine&nbsp;</h3>Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. Chilling the dough prevents spreading during baking.<h3>4. Shape &amp; Bake&nbsp;</h3>Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until set but not browned. Don't overbake; they should be soft.<h3>5. Cool &amp; Frost</h3>Cool cookies completely. Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice for frosting. Frost cookies and add sprinkles.

How to Make Italian Christmas Cookies

To keep your leftover Italian Christmas Cookies fresh and delicious, here's how to store them.Room TemperatureStore the cookies in an airtight container. This prevents them from drying out and becoming stale. If you're stacking the cookies in a container, place a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper between the layers. This will prevent the frosting from sticking and smudging. Store for up to 4 days.FreezerIf you want to store the cookies for a longer period, you can freeze them. Place the cooled, unfrosted cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to an airtight freezer bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 2 to 3 months. Thaw them completely, at room temperature, before frosting and serving.
