Jeff Mauro's holiday cookies were inspired by the recipe for spumoni, a traditional Italian dessert made with layers of ice cream (cherry, pistachio, chocolate, or vanilla) topped with candied fruit or nuts. Jeff gave this Italian classic a twist, infusing these unforgettable flavors into spumoni cookies, topping them with chocolate chips, pistachios, and candied cherries.
