12 Days of Cookies

It's time for 12 Days of Cookies, Food Network's annual virtual cookie swap. Each day, visit us here on FN Dish for a peek at new holiday cookies, party-planning tips and top techniques for rolling, spooning, slicing, baking and decorating delicious sweet treats to give — or keep — from your favorite Food Network chefs

Jeff's holiday cookie is inspired by spumoni, which is traditionally a molded Italian dessert featuring different layers of ice cream (cherry, pistachio and either chocolate or vanilla) along with candied fruits and nuts. Jeff puts his twist on the Italian classic by turning those memorable flavors into a "spumookie" complete with chocolate chips, pistachios and dried cherries.
