MOSTACCIOLI
There's a chance that this was the original Christmas cookie, as the recipe is said to have originated over 300 years B.C. A first-century text lists the ingredients as rye flour, cumin, cheese, anise and eggs. In the 2000-plus years since, it has evolved into a chocolate nut cookie rich with warm winter spices.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, olive oil and orange zest.
- Put the flour, sugar, walnuts, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until the walnuts are in medium-sized pieces. Add the egg mixture and chocolate chips, and continue to pulse until a thick dough forms.
- Roll pieces of the cookie dough into golf ball-sized pieces, and arrange on the prepared baking sheets at least 3 inches apart. Bake, rotating halfway through, 15 to 17 minutes.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, 20 minutes. Store in an airtight tin for up to 1 week, or freeze for 2 months. Dough can also be prepared and frozen up to 3 months ahead of time.
