My Mom's Italian Christmas Cookies recipe (Knot Cookies)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 гру 2016
- My mother, with the help of us children, made these cookies every December. I fixed my mother's recipe to make a more tender cookie that would hold its texture longer. These are traditional. My grandmother was from Naples, Italy.
In their simplest form, the dough is shaped in a single knot, and therefore these are also known as Knot Cookies. As children, we enjoyed shaping the dough in different ways. It was like playing with modeling clay.
The recipe is on my web site:

My 4 yo granddaughter absolutely loves these cookies. She informed me that she is coming to spend the night and we will make these.
Back in the old days I was told to use Crisco and my cookies would stay fresh and soft for a long time. It did too! But the butter has to make them extra delicious.
Crisco makes all-vegetable, butter-flavored shortening. That might work, too.
Mom’s Family is from Naples, Italy too. She called these Anisette cookies. I will try your recipe. Looks good!
My mother added anisette to the frosting.
A tip for you that we do I. The cookie decorating g world to make frosting cookies like this go much faster is we dip them, and when u use your candy dots put them in a bowl and dip your cookies in the bowl. This way you don’t waste them. What u don’t use but them back in the jar.
These cookies look like fun to make I will have to try them.
My Great Grandmother from Sicily used to make the same type of cookies and no one in the family knew the recipe. This is why it's important to pass down recipes from generation to generation.
I agree. It's important to preserve these favorite family recipes from the past. Thanks for the comment. -Dennis
So true. Thank you for posting. Hope you have a great Christmas.
My Sicilian Great Grandma made these too! But hers had orange zest and orange juice in hers. They were delicious! She also made the egg-in-the-nest cookies for Easter! The best!! ♥️🐣🌷✝️
Thanks for the recipe i will try .
Bless your heart for honoring your mother and her wonderful cookie recipe! 🤗🤗🤗.
Oh my mother used to make these Italian cookies , they looked similar but I don't remember how she made them. My parents are calabrese. I remember eating cookies like this but they were more fluffy and larger. These look delicious. Mum has those sugar things also that you showed in the end of your video.
These look delicious! I love remembering my childhood!
I love how you add the weights of the ingredients!! Helps a bunch! :)
my mom grandma is Italy too. I am excited to try them with butter because when I was a kid to they would be so hard by the time the post came. Thank for sharing. buon Natale!🎄🎅
Growing up grandma made these cookies throughout the year so we had them in the house at most times. And they were always hard as rocks.. That's the way they were meant to be, at least in our house. Each morning, Pop would dip them into his coffee and we kids would dip them into our milk. At night, Pop would dip them into his Chianti or Burgundy or which ever Dago Red he was drinking. Even without a drink to dip them in, we loved them, hard as a rock. I didn't think there was any other way to eat these cookies....
Evidently they can be made either way. My mother's mother was from Naples, Italy and her cookies were always soft and stayed that way.
Would you give me that recipe the hard as rocks please, thank you
I truly miss them hard that way
These look beautiful and delicious and I will try to make these next time instead of the ones I make
theyre calle knot cookies christmas cookies with any flavor anyone prefers , theyre just a great dough for cookies , and theyre good !!! BUON NATALE everyone
Oh this is my grandmother’s recipe for Biscottis, (biscuit cookie) as well. She was from Sicily.. and your right, her cookies were always hard, great for dunking in your coffee! Lol But I too use 1/2 butter, and 1/2 shortening because we like them softer. And we love orange extract...your the first person that I’ve seen share this wonderful recipe. Merry Christmas! Also a little tip to keep them soft, is put a slice of bread into an airtight container with the cookies, and they will soften right up.
Ricotta cheese cookies
Recipe fir ricotta cheese cookies
That recipe your referring to adds Ricotta cheese, my recipe does not.
This is Great!
I used to make braids, wreaths, christmas tree, candy cane shapes etc, and hang them on the tree, and eat them through the holidays!
We would add different coloured string ribbon after baking to hang them!
When I was a young boy we used to have two Christmas trees one decorated the traditional way and the other one was a kitchen Christmas tree with cookies, chocolates, candy canes and raspberry candies... Mmmmmm
A very Merry and Blessed Christmas to you 🎅🦌🤶🌲⛄
Very different way of mixing in components for the Anisette cookies. I love trying different methods on recipes passed down through the generations. This Christmas, I'm going to give your recipe a try and skip my family Anisette cookie recipe (which I make several times a year... yum). Thanks for sharing. Buon Natale
Great demeanor. Delicious traditional Italian Xmas taste
mmm. my favorite. i remember a few anise seeds. my mom never used icing and i loved them. thanks for the recipe.
Replace the lemon with orange. It is absolutely delicious!
Perfect. That’s how we Italians do. I love it.
I was born n raised in a small Italian cole mining town in IL. The christmas cookie was called succerines. Aniset. Liquor in cookie and frosting. This is closr to the calabrese area. A lot of work to make. This cookie was made at Christmas time.
My ma taught us early how to make cookies.We made S and numbers she taught ,all the children how to make cookies.Mamas family all came from the Old Country.I miss those days so much.
These look delicious 😋 Thank u for every step.
My pleasure 😊
Great recipe and every measurement is on point...ty merry Christmas
I love Italian Christmas cookies; I would have to half the recipe as it's only my husband and I at home now. This recipe is pretty labor intensive, but worth it. So delicious with a cup of coffee. Enjoyed the video. ☕️
♥️Thank You looks so
Yummy!😋
My pleasure 😊
You may think I’m crazy but I’m looking for the hard cookies like you said can you give me that recipe. My moms were like rocks I like that
I don't have my mother's recipe. I'm not even sure she had one. She tended to wing it when cooking. Substitute water for the fat and your cookies should come out almost like biscotti, hard and dry. Those are perfect for dipping in coffee or tea when eating.
What a lovely video thank you and Merry Christmas.
Excellent, peace and joy to you and yours this Christmas season, I wish you a Merry Christmas, Tom
Annisette works just fine for the flavoring.
Thank you. I'm baking these for my parents tomorrow. They're gonna be good. I could find anite ,so I will use almond
I remember them well
Those remind me of my nana’s Christmas cookies. Those and pizzelle’s were always smelling up the kitchen at Christmas. Thank you for bringing those wonderful memories back
Thanks for the comment Terri. I hope you get a chance to make those cookies. -Dennis
Amazing
With the consistency of the icing, I think it would be easier to ice using a small pastry brush. Nice recipe.
Was always my favorite cookie,. My aunt Carmella made these
Looked yummy. You can get a really good food brush for that frosting easier.
Great recipe Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas 🎁
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing!!! Greetings from Italy. Buon natale

I can’t wait to try this thank you Charleston sc
Looks good.
Thankyou
You’re welcome 😊 -Dennis
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I shall give these a try when I can. They might not be for Christmas... they might be for summer porch time with lemonade. Mmm. I like that they make a large batch. I'll have to use my mixer to get them put together because I don't have the strength to do the mixing by hand, but that shouldn't hurt too much. Also I think I'd use almond flavouring just because I like it. :) Maybe a bit of coconut flavour for some? Yeah... that could work. :) Thanks again!
I love Your Name, Mobile Home Gourmet! I cannot wait to try Your Italian Christmas Cookies. I may make 2 batches as I am not sure about the Annice Flavor. I love almond and vanilla though. I may make 1 of Each. HOLY COW THAT Would BE A LOT OF COOKIES THOUGH!!! 6 1/2 dozen x 3= A lot of Christmas Cookies!!! I do have 2 large Families on My Side and on My Husband's side so We shall see. Actually it is 234 Cookies!!!!! HMMM! Maybe, NOT!!!! I am anxious to try these though. Thank You for sharing the recipe with Us. 😊👍🏼
We or from calabria we make too but the one we make or more soft and or very good .i don't mine give the recipe.
My grandmother is from Naples. I remember my grandmother and mom use to make these. They both passed away. I will try your recipe.?
Thanks Lynn. I plan to make these again to give away. I even give some to the mail carrier and the trash collector. --Dennis
Lovely.i will definitely make them
One of the cookies ended up looking like a snowman. ⛄️️ 😊 These look wonderful. Jane
Nice
Thanks.
Keep thinking about 🍷 Sherry or Anisette (being Italian 🍪) even Southern Comfort instead of water or milk for glaze? YOURS is the only recipe I found, so far, that considers a bit of “🥃 Booze” for Adult Italian Cookies.
Really enjoy your wonderful style with recipes. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 & Happy 2020 New Year!
I've never had these but they look delicious.
kelly dry .
We always called those “Ss & Os”. We didn’t do all the different cute shapes tho just the “S & O” shape.
Can you freeze these and for how long? They look delicious
I never tried freezing them. The only problem might be the colored sprinkles (nonpareils). The color might bleed when thawing, looking kind of messy. -Dennis
Years ago I enjoyed Christmas Eve dinner with an Italian-American family. For dessert we had cookies called "Fried Knots." I'm wondering if they were made of this kind of dough, tied into small knots, deep-fried, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. They were delicious, as I'm sure these are!
great video! can't wait to try these yum
Awesome
Great with Coffee!!!
We called them torchetti, and we ate 100's of them over the years. My mom would sprinkle sugar before baking, so they were sweet without icing. I'm interested in your mom's original recipe without butter or oil. Would you post it? I have to watch fat intake, so am interested in her version. As far as they getting so brick-hard.... microwaving them for a short time in a paper bag maybe would soften them up.
I don't have my mother's original recipe. I do know that she used water rather than butter or oil. I hope that helps. -Dennis
Grazie!@@MobileHomeGourmet
Turn them over & DIP TOPS of cookies in bowl of glaze! Put sprinkles in bowl & dip frosted side of cookies in sprinkles! Easier! Less messy......
hey thats my grandma receipt great receipt naples yay
Looks good thanks
Thanks love the shaping ideas Ill be making your Moms Italian Christmas cookies this year !
Great video…thanks
I use anise oil, gives a better flavor. Just a capful or 2
7:17 there's an eyeball in the dough!
When we were growing up, our grandmother made the dough into the letters of each grandchild's first name. With the rest of the dough, she made simple "S" shapes.
Kerygold Butter also comes unsalted
Thank you for sharing I made this recipe today and it was very good 👍😃

HAPPY YOU FIXED THE RECIPE!
I DON'T NEED ANY HOCKEY PUCKS TO HAND OUT!😁😆😅🤣😂

Lovely receipe.Forhow long will the cookies last.For how many days
When I first made these, after correcting my mother's recipe, I tested them. I left them on the table, uncovered, for several days and they didn't go stale. Properly stored in a cookie tin I think they should be good for a week or so. -Dennis
I remember making these with grandmom we roll one n eat one lol
Those fond childhood memories are one reason I occasionally make these cookies. -Dennis
My Nana from Bari Italy made a cookie very similar but never did she add milk or cream to it.
Thanks for sharing.I want to make for 🎄 this.From every country that's in my DNA.Are they a recipe from Napoli Italy? That is were my Italianan ancestry comes from. Sincerely Maureen ramage
Yes 😊 My mother's mother was from Naples. -Dennis

Can you freeze these before you frost them
Hi !...I want to know what other Italian Christmas cookies your mother has prepared. I have never prepared Italian. Christmas cookies , it looks very delicious. Possible you sent me other recipes or videos ??? pleases.
Hi Eugene. This was the only recipe my mother had for Italian cookies. She got it from her mother who was from Naples, Italy. Thanks for the interest. -Dennis
Looks like fun to make. Is the recipe on your website?
Yes, it's on the web site. Here's the link www.white-trash-cooking.com/recipes/moms_christmas_cookies.html
My grandmother made these
How shouls these bw atored and can they be frozen?
They can be stored in an airtight container such as a cookie tin or a ziplock bag. I never tried freezing them, but if I were to I think I'd freeze them without the frosting, which might flake off. Maybe thaw them and then finish them with frosting and sprinkles before serving. -Dennis
GOURMET COOKIES YOU GO GOURMET THANKS GOD'S WE HAS COOKIES THANKS YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOU COOKIES MR GOURMET ASMR WOULD LOVE ONE COOKIES JAM.
If u use a brush to frost cookies it's better
Here is a secret, in real Italian and Hungarian bakeries they use lard
I make my Grandmother 's recipe it is made with lemon flavoring just twist in a knot and bake then frost with lemon icing
We use to call the chocolate grains, "ants", because they look like tiny ants
