- December 13, 2013I make these cookies every Christmas and Easter, passed down from one generation to the next. The name and ingredients changes from different regions of Italy. My family is Sicilian so we would use lemon and orange rind in the cookie and I don't remember the name Sicilians would call them, but no matter...they are delicious!!!I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

- December 16, 2014I too have been making these every Christmas, the recipe has been handed down 3 generations with the original coming directly from my great grandmother in Italy. Although her recipe varies from yours: 12 eggs, 8 C flour& we try to ice the whole cookie. Love them!!!
- April 21, 2012This are one of my favorite cookies ever. The sad part is they never last very long!
- February 24, 2012I am very new to this site...and am thoroughly overwhelmed with all the possabilities. I can't wait to try one offering after another.
- May 3, 2011I always buy cookies at the Italian bakery. Now I have an authentic recipe.. They look so good.
- May 1, 2011A blast from the past and my Nonna; we called them "succarines" origin of Naples
- October 28, 2010Just an fyi there are links above to take you to the webpage and under Italian Cookies you will find all the family recipes handed down. Just click on Whats Cookin Italian Cuisine...
- October 28, 2010Your cookies look and sound delicious! I love that they are soft and not crunchy. Interesting with the anise extract and I will definitely have to try this.1 reply

- July 26, 2010Has anyone heard of cookies like this but with orange juice concentrate and no anise? Thank you!
- July 11, 2010finally made these today! they were amazing, i rolled them out to about 3 inches and twisted them, iced them as soon as they came out of the oven so the icing thinned out! luv em.......XX thanks for sharing........sorry i haven't posted any of my recipes. i haven't figured this stuff out yet. can you not just cut/paste/copy recipes in here or do you have to type it all out?
- June 26, 2010that is such wonderful news Claudia......thank you, thank you!! you've shed the light to so many questions i had on these cookies.......funny how oil makes cakes moist, but would dry out cookies, my mother will be sooooo happy that we've figured these fabulous cookies out, since we are Portuguese.........:) god bless, thank you for your help XX both cheeks.......i'll keep you posted with our results......:)1 reply
- June 26, 2010not ever a problem, hope these are it for you, we made alot of cookies for wedding trays and this is our favorite ,you can use almond, orange anisette, lemon, any flavoring, but always use a little vanilla with it too...let me know excited to hear how they turn out :)
- June 26, 2010Ironic that this recipe should pop up now.......:) my mother and i just had one of these 2 wks ago at an Italian Cafe. It was twisted and very moist with almond flavouring. We have been researching recipes now and i'm finding oil and milk in the recipes. Does this make the cookie much more moist in texture? thanks XX1 reply
- June 26, 2010Oil and milk is a basic recipe but they will be actually dry, these are moist and don't dry out in a few days after baked, the oil ones will. The butter keeps them moist and soft compared to oil which drys the flour. I have made them both ways, and this one is the family favorite...you can add what you like but its personal preference. thanks for you comment :) good luck
- April 15, 2010We also have a recipe similar to these and call them annisette biscotti. However we only use anise flavoring and have other cookies with almond, vanilla or lemon flavoring. Look just like ours! We make them for almost all of our biscotti trays as they are a favorite of our customers and our family and friends. You can see them on our web site www.pturo.com under biscotti.
