Simple Southern Italian S Cookies (e85)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Buon giorno a tutti! In this episode, Nonna Mia, la nonna di tutti (everybody's grandma), shows us how easy it is to bake up a batch of S cookies. Unsurprisingly, the cookie takes its name from its S shape. Italian S cookies are perfect for dunking into your morning coffee!
Nonna loves to use the traditional method of building a 'nest' with her flour, but you can of course use a bowl and mixer. She just prefers to work with her hands and appreciates the exercise that it brings.
You will need the following ingredients:
- 4 cups of flour and a bit more for dusting the board
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup of sugar
- 3/4 cup of olive oil
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 2 T of baking powder
- pinch of salt
- zest of a lemon
After blending in all the ingredients, on a dusted board, knead the dough until it is smooth. The consistency should be soft. Cover it and let it rest for 30 min.
Begin rolling snake-like ropes of dough and cut them to about 7 inches and then shape into an S. This recipe yields about 40 S's. Next press gently down, brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake in a preheated over at 375F for 13-15 minutes on parchment paper. The cookies will appear golden in colour and the base will have gone golden brown. Allow to cool on a rack, pour yourself an espresso and enjoy!
Buon appetito!

Nonna, I am so happy you showed me how to make the S cookies my grandma used to make them and they were delicious. I love to see you outside in your beautiful garden with those flowers and your basil. You are such a delight to watch and learn from you have given me such wonderful recipes.
Cara Frances - you always say the perfect thing to make my day! Thank you for nothing my garden. I love it. My beans are starting to grow beautifully. Thank you bella for watching my videos - it means a lot to me. xx
I'm getting some serious Gennaro Contaldo vibes from this nonna.
Buon giorno E M. I like him too! He's got more energy - 10 years younger than me. I loved watching him with Antonio - two greedy Italians. Have you seen that?
Mi dispiace che non si sente quando parla devi metere unpo di voce grazie mi scusi
Mi dispiace per quello. Grazie cara. xx
Nonna, you bring such joy to my heart (and my wife’s) to watch! For their entire life, Nonna’s house must’ve always been your grandkids FAVORITE place to come and visit. “Nonna gives us so much love,,, and she always has wonderful treats for us to eat!” Such a beautiful thing! Oh,,, and your Basil plants look very happy too!!! Love and hugs as always from New Hampshire! xoxo
I love it when you and your wife write. You say such beautiful things. Thank you both so much for watching my video and even more for taking the time to write me. It warms my heart so much! xo

Mille grazie cara Joyce! Thank you so much for the super-sweet words! xx
Thank you for the recipe Nona. It looks delicious. Thank you for sharing with us. May I ask, what does the s stand for? It looks like a wonderful recipe. Hope you are doing well, have a happy day.
Grazie cara. You know, I don't know. For decades, these S cookies have been made in Southern Italy. Grocery stores sell them - even in my small town in Ontario. I think because it was an easy shape, but I don't know. Such a good question. I would love for someone to tell me too! xx
Sole which means sun or sunshine in Italian
These are my one of my favorites ❤ Beautiful backyard Nonna ❤❤Thank you for sharing
I love them too bella! Thank you for the compliment. xx
Great job Nonna! Thank you for the recipe! 😍❤️🌸
Prego cara Melina. I'm so happy you watched my video. xx

Summers in Italy are the best. 🤗🙏🤗
Che bellli .Bravisslma come sempre.Cioa and I see you soon x
Always so nice to hear from you! Especially nice actually. Bacioni bella. xx
Could i use vegetable oil instead of olive oil?
Yes cara 😍
SUPERB!!! GRAZIE Nonna Mia!! I enjoyed your video and seeing you outdoors. I am going to try your method of mixing with the hands! That's where the love comes from! XOXO!!
Well said cara! I think you said it perfectly. I think I will use that!! :-) Happy weekend bella. xx
I had to revisit your s cookies b/c I wanted to make some again, we love them with coffee. Your garden is so beautiful the flowers and that wonderful basil, you are such a delight to watch!!❤️💐🍋
Your comments always warm my heart! Grazie tango bella! xoxo
I just found your channel when looking up Italian biscotti. Love your smile, enthusiasm and energy! God bless you and I look forward to watching more of your videos ❤️❤️❤️
Bella Elaine - your words are so sweet. They warm my heart. Thank you so much for writing me. Bacioni! xx
Grazie Nonna! We haven’t had these cookies since our Venetian friend gifted some to us years ago. They also brought some shaped like circles and others shaped like 8. I can’t wait to make them with my daughter! She will probably want to make all the letters haha!
That is so cute! And yes, I forgot about the 8's .. I haven't seen them in a long long time. Lovely old memories for sure. Thank you so much for watching this video. I hope your daughter enjoys making them. Would love to see a photo of you guys doing that, if you do make them. Happy weekend to you all. BACIONI
you make everything look so easy to make. Great video, can't wait to try this recipe
Thank you so much bella. I am happy to hear that you watched my video. Of course you can use a standing mixer, to make it easier than using the traditional nest like me - I just am so comfortable doing it that way! I hope you have a wonderful weekend. A presto cara. xx
Nonna, you are so adorable! I LOVE watching you cook and bake. God bless you and your hands! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You’re very sweet bella. Grazie tanto. 🤗💛🤗
I just made them in a mixer and they SUCKED!!!

@@nonnamia7890 They we're hard as a rock lol..... no taste. Meh, i'll try again.
@@neinschlomo sorry to hear that.
“S” is for smile. The beautiful smile you always have. It makes me smile watching your videos with joy❤️
S for smile - brava. I didn't think of that one! So cute. Thank you so much for watching my video. I love that! Grazie tanto cara. xox
Wonderful❣️ Thank you for the lovely recipe, Nonna. Love and best wishes from London, Ontario.
Cara Anu ... so sweet of you to write me. Thank you for subscribing to my channel. I am so glad that you did. London isn't too far away from Orillia - relatively speaking. The last the person we heard from was in Texas. Hope you are enjoying your summer. A presto bella.
Nice recipe ! looks delicious
Grazie mille - thanks so much for writing me! Happy weekend. :-) xx
Nonna, how sunny was that balcony and how many colours were you embraced by? It all looks so perfect, including your smile and joy and s-shaped cookies. One more adjective with "S"? Well, "Stunning"! ☀️❤
Bello Francesco ... always sooo nice to hear from you! I hear from my cousin Maria, that it is hot in Italy. I hope you are staying cool. Here today, it is only 21 - a nice day though. It is Canada Day today. Do you like to eat S cookies? A presto caro.
@@nonnamia7890 Nonna, it was an extremely hot june, especially in Calabria where it felt like Africa, literally. I'm in Milan and it's hot too as well, although it's getting less and less "tropical" in this last week. Happy Canada day, nonna 👍👍👍
Thank you Nonna, love watching your videos. God Bless
Cara Lily - thank you so much. I am so grateful that you subscribe and watch my videos. It means a lot to me. xx
