I will try to make these this weekend im not italian but my wife has italian background from Sicilia and said her grandmother used to make this. So wish me luck i also will be using half margarine half butter ill take your aunt's advice 😅 aunties know better after all
Will try these thanks! I just found your channel!!
Wait a minute. You contacted your aunt in Detroit? Is she a Parisi? We are related to the Parisi's in Detroit from way back. My great grandmother Rosalia's sister married a Parisi. But they all moved to the suburbs, so perhaps your family is in Clinton Township or Sterling Heights, or Shelby. OK…on with the s cookies. Oh, I live nearby too north of Detroit.
May I ask a question… I have made these twice and they are delectable, but mine are always much flatter than yours, dough to wet? I prefer wearing, and I weigh the flour each time
I use 470 g of flour 267 g of sugar and 284 g of butter. Am I doing something wrong?
I put them in the bottom first and then the top of the oven
Lovely& delicious, greatly appreciate this S cookie recipe, Thanks. New Jersey
Recipe please!! We had Stella Doro S Cookies years ago!! I am 81 and would love to make these!!
PERFECT Video! You explained the recipe thoroughly. I'm so glad I found your page. Subscribed!! 🙂
These were awesome; thanks. I screwed up and added 3 sticks of butter instead of 2.5 so I added about 1/2 cup more flour and they came out very good. Thanks again.
Thank you chef for the awesome family recipe!!
Is Pam an Italian name lol? I’m Italian and never heard the name in Italian 😅 anyways, great recipe!!
I just made this and they are Fantastic.. I used all butter and did it by hand ! So easy to make and delicious… what is the best way to store these ?
how much butter?
Πόσα γραμμάρια είναι το βούτυρο;
Can i add anise? I replace vanilla with anise?
We had issues with this. When we went to roll them up they cracked. The third batch we did we added another half cup of flour, used all butter and used 4 whole eggs. Got them to roll out just fine.
Thank you so much! Can’t wait to surprise my Sicilian friend with them! (And share with my family of course!)
Searching for different Christmas cookies this year and came across your channel! Yes, I am Italian and I do remember making these cookies quite a while ago using light olive oil but I’d like to try your recipe, however do you have any salt in this recipe since you’re using unsalted butter? I would think it would come out bland without something, no? Just checking before I go ahead. Thank you!👍🏼🎄
Sicilian are italian I hate when I hear that. 🤬
Calabrian tradition employs a Cuisinart food processor. 😊
Can’t wait to make these. Thanks chef!! You rock!!
Hi,
the cookies look great!!!
l want to bake these I didnt understand
how many gram of butter?
Thank you
All soooo authentic…except your pronunciation of biscotti. Ugh! Speaking as a Sicilian (I was conceived in Sicily, born in the U.S.), it's pronounced "bis-CŌ'-ti." And my grandmother's maiden name was Parisi.
Pretty cookie 😊
Hi Billy! My Nana made the S & O cookies, too! I tried your recipe, but my cookies flattened somewhat and didn’t keep their shape too well. Any ideas of what I did wrong? I was thinking that my butter might need to be colder. I softened it. Thanks!
Delicious
Chef Billy, do you think I can make these S cookies eggless? Thank you in advance. Btw I love your videos.
I have tried to make them with mixer and food processor. They are ok, but the texture is not quite right. Take his advice and use your hands at least 1 times. It is worth the effort.
Made these this past weekend, and they are DELICIOUS! Thanks!!!
Instead of adding water, add vodka. It adds moisture, but the alcohol doesn’t interact with the protein to create gluten, which means your dough will be easier to shape, but are still tender.
Do you have a pignoli cookie recipe from grandma? S cookies are absolutely delicious – would like to try pignolis as well…
I just made these. The only change I made was adding the zest of one lemon to the dough. THESE ARE DELICIOUS!
If you don't have a pastry knife, food processor, or mixer, you can use a box grater to grate the butter and then work it into the flour with your hands. That's how the French make biscuits
Looking forward to making these
Don’t forget the Fig cookies:)
Can I add Anise extract to the icing?
Would it help to grate frozen butter into the flour?
I love simple cookies, this look like a keeper, going to try for sure.
That is so nice that you had to ask permission
Lol, my mother only used Blue Bonnet too!!!
Nothing like making it by hands.. that's love ❤️
Talk talk talk !! Stop talking
Question. Isn't it traditional to use lemon zest?
I made this recipe and used all butter. It was a hit with my husband. Thank you.
Just made your S cookies. Thanks for the recipe and video. Merry Christmas
These cookies are to die for! Yummy!
I made them yesterday. Took me back 40 years! Love it, always loved them. My French wife thinks they are great too! Thank you so much and I love the icing just like mom’s. I did one tiny departure, 1/2 butter, 1/2 shortening (like mom did in the 60’s and 70’s), makes them tiny bit lighter. If I didn’t have shortening left over I’d go 100% butter. This would be a little richer.
great recipe, has anyone made these with anise extract? maybe 2 Tbls?
