The one recipe that is used quite often at Christmas in Italy is panetone. Other recipes are pizelle, ricotta cookies, pignoli and stuffed figs coated in honey.
The basic ingredients are flour, sugar, butter, baking powder, and eggs. Just as you were making the batter for a cake. After that it's the flavorings and additional ingredients that change the batter. Some recipes call for a dough to be rolled. Still there are recipes where the dough is just stiff enough to be dropped from a spoon.

The tradition was then brought over by the Dutch in the early 17th century, and after imported Christmas-designed cookie cutters became more accessible, people started making cookies for Christmas.
