cucciddati (cuccidati)

When ring-shaped these may be known as buccellati, meaning 'little bracelets', and are a diminutive form of buccellato, a larger fig-filled ring cake. The ingredients are as varied as the names the cookies are called by, apparently a function of the town or region in which they are made. Other towns call them nucciddati (nut cookies), zucciddati, ucciddati, vucciddati and, as in Serradifalco, pucciddati. That town's version includes ground figs and dates, nuts, and orange rinds.
