@@alessandrasfoodislove My mother's people are from Naples...not sure where but I remember my grandmother mentioning a city with the name "Gabriele" in it. (My daughter is "Gabrielle"). And my father's people are from Sicily. Catania. I had 4 of my great grandparents until I was 16 years old..i remember them well! 💚💚

So happy for you Susan. Maybe Gragnano ? I was born in Vico Equense, a coastal town between Pompeii and Sorrento. That makes me Napoletana. 🥰🇮🇹 I’ve been to Catania, Sicily is a gorgeous island with delicious food. God bless you that you had them. I just lost my aunt and she was the last link to my dad. It hurts so much. I mention her in my bow ties video because I use the mandarinetto liqueur she made for me. Oh the memories. God bless you and thank you for watching! 🥰

Very interesting..we also make susamielli but we use molasses..and ..we add non-pareils...they are a staple at Christmas along with struffoli!

Thank you so much AnnaMaria, I’m so fascinated how same foods change name from region to region. My best friend growing up was Calabrese and I still remember when she came back from her summers in Italy she would bring the cookies back. They were shaped like fish or different animals with small pieces of foil decorating them. The special memories 🥰🇮🇹 Thank you for having me remember. Merry Christmas to you and family. ❤️🎄💫

They are a hard cookie. Maybe too much honey. Try leaving them in a plastic bag and they’ll soften up. Buon Natale. 💕🎄💫

It seems some have fruit or almonds in them, is that correct? And how long will they keep if I make them ahead?

Hi Charlotte, Yes you’re correct. The wonderful thing is that they keep for weeks. They’re not a soft cookie. I love making miniature ones. Hope you’ll make them too. Buon Natale! 💫🎄

Ciao, come stai? I just finished a batch, and mine came out a little rubbery. I’m thinking it’s because I didn’t boil my honey and sugar, if I had done that step, I would have a crisper cookie. Maybe I’ll let the dry out over night and put a fresh orange juice/powdered sugar glaze on them.

These cookies seem to be rubbery. im thinking because they have no egg.

The lack of fat in the cookie makes it hard. There's also a soft version of this cookie.
