NOW this is how I remember these cookies being made over 60 years ago when I was a kid. Some of the best homemade cookies I ever had and have missed them for so long. Thanks for the recipe and will attempt to do them on my own. Thanks again...
SorryMary I meant to comment on another recipe, I did try yours and yes I added more flour when I kneaded the dough and they were perfect. My grandson who’s 5 kept going back for more which was surprising cause he doesn’t eat many sweets. Thank You
I make them, let them cool and then freeze them inside an airtight container. I have kept them for 1 month and they are like just baked. I glaze them just before enjoying them.
You will enjoy these. They are easy to make! Let me know how yours turn out. Depending on your eggs, you may need to add more flour if the dough is sticky.
I just moved into a big city for the first time since I last left the city of 2,000,000 to a city of 600 people. My favourite part of the move are all of the Italian bakeries. I saw these cookies at almost all of them, from prices ranging $15/LB and $2 per cookie. The past few days I spent well over $70 just for these cookies and I really need to stop, or make my own so that's what I'm doing! 😅🙃
@@MarysKitchenMtl you're right but I'll never do it again! They taste very similar to the ones I buy, but it's not worth the hassle. But I'm really sad that they won't have any until Friday :(
Hello, it could be that your eggs are bigger. You just need to add a little extra flour. There is oil in the dough so this makes the dough quite manageable and should not stick to your fingers or be too soft. Try the recipe once again. Once you transfer the dough onto your work surface, knead it and dust it with more flour like in my video, until you get the right consistency. The dough should be silky and smooth to the touch. Good luck! Let me know how they turn out!
Perhaps the eggs are a little bigger? Just add more flour, 1 tbsp. at a time. Add until the dough does not stick to your fingers. The 1 cup of oil makes this dough quite manageable. Let me know how they turn out when you make them again.

How long will they stay fresh for once baked. Can I make the dough couple days ahead of time too. They look amazing.

Hi Gaetano,
They are so easy to make:)
@@MarysKitchenMtl you're right but I'll never do it again! They taste very similar to the ones I buy, but it's not worth the hassle. But I'm really sad that they won't have any until Friday :(
@@Gaetano.94 I'm glad that my cookies are similar to the ones you buy! I take this as a compliment! :)))))
So nice!!!

Thank you!!
Troppo brava
Grazie!!! ♥️
Hi Mary, I want to make ahead - is it better to freeze without icing?
Hello Rosie,
Yes, freeze without icing. Glaze them the day you want to serve them. Enjoy!
Can you freeze them? I need for a wedding, so I have to make ahead. Grazie
Yes Rosella, you can freeze them. Just spread them out in an airtight container so the glaze stays in tact.
Oh and Mtl stand for Montreal?
Yes, Mtl is for Montreal. I started off with Mary’sKitchen514 but then changed it to Mtl:) It sounds better. 🥰
The only problem with making these cookies is that I will eat them all!! LOL
So funny! 🥰
How do you store them?
Hi Amanda, I store them in an airtight container and freeze them. In my house, they don't last very long!:))))))

I’m allergic to sunflower oil. What can I substitute
Hi Donna, you can replace the sunflower oil with vegetable, avocado or grapeseed oil. Enjoy your day!
Why is my dough so sticky ?
Perhaps the eggs are a little bigger? Just add more flour, 1 tbsp. at a time. Add until the dough does not stick to your fingers. The 1 cup of oil makes this dough quite manageable. Let me know how they turn out when you make them again.
