Getting the stuff together to make them, anise cookies and chocolate rum balls. Not sure how much whiskey to use in them though.
 
Bought this just for making them, picked it up last week.a0f9fd6685e995529f1923be599f7d15.jpg&key=e0c0497e483cfbf29a25e2c10a11496eb74e3cc4f413e46fdc8cbca0b558b712

I’m confused...cookies through a grinder?!? Is that for the struffoli?

No, it is for the Cuccidati's. You have to grind the figs, dates, candied fruit and raisins. I have been in a couple of car accidents and have problems with my hands and wrists because of the first accident I was in back in 88 I have also had 3 shoulder surgeries so working a grinder the old fashioned way is quite uncomfortable for me so I bought this to do the grinding for me.

Here is our traditional Sicilian Christmas cookie, Mastaciolle, is how my Mother spelled it in Sicilian dialect. Mastazolle in proper Italian.

 

The nut and honey mixture:

Rolling out the sweet inside and wrapping in pastry:
