Ingredients:-
4 cups all purpose flour (500 grams)
1 cup sugar (200 grams)
1 cup shortening (200 grams)
2 large eggs
3 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla extra
1 cup sesame seeds
1/4 to 1/3 cup milk
Pinch of salt
Directions:-
Step#1- In a stand up mixer bowl add all the dry ingredients.
Step#2- With the hook attachment start mixing, add shortening a chunk at a time and using a spatula move flour from side of the bowl to the center to mix properly.
Step#3- Add the eggs and vanilla.
Step#4- Add milk a little at a time and check for dough consistency. It needs to be a soft dough.
Step#5- Move to work surface and sprinkle some flour to avoid sticking. Knead for a few minutes then cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step#6- As the dough is resting toast the sesame seeds in a 350 degrees Fahrenheit oven (180 Celsius) to a golden color. Let them cool completely.
Step#7- Remove dough from refrigerator and cut in multiple pieces. Do not add flour to work surface otherwise sesame seeds will not stick.
Step#8- Roll dough creating 1 inch wide logs. Cut about 1 1/2 inches long pieces and roll in sesame seeds.
Step#9- Space on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for 30 minutes or until golden.
Step#10- They store well in an airtight container up to two weeks.
Enjoy anytime!

Another beautiful video making a delicious cookie. Regina cookies were one of my late hubby’s favorites to dunk in coffee. Just live you Alessandra! Thanks for the memories of being in the kitchen with my late Mom. ❤️😘❤️
Thank you so much for watching. God bless 🙏🏻 your mom and husband. How very special that you learned all the recipes from your mom and made them for your husband. Food is indeed love ❤️. A big hug 🤗 to you
Made these last night! Delicious!
That’s wonderful! Buon Natale. You just made my day 💕
I’ve been making these for years, but your recipe is the best BY FAR!
Thank you so very much. You just made my day!
I've never made these & would like to make for an upcoming bridal shower. I left a message for Alessandra however, seeing that you've been making them for years just wondering if you've ever frozen these & if you have does the sesame seed gets soggy.
We called these cookies giugiulenas (I think giugiulena is the Sicilian word for sesame). Our Sicilian cookies were quite crisp, almost llike the traditional anise biscotti for dunking in espresso or coffee. Your sesame cookies seem less crunchy and hard. I'm going to try your recipe because my problem with the giugiulenas is their almost tooth-cracking hardness. I just love watching your videos.
Yes, giuggiulena means exactly that. The original recipe had lard in it and that made it extra hard. The shortening give it more of a crunch. Hope the recipe is to your liking. Thank you so much for watching. 💖
Will try these for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you my pleasure! 💚🤍♥️
These look so good! My Italian family never made these we always got them from an Italian bakery, lol. I loved them when I was young and definitely going to give this recipe a try. Thank you for another great, simple recipe and a little Italian language lesson as well 😊
Thank you so much!! 💖 you know me simple and delicious is my style. Lol
Your words warm my heart. Grazie mille! 🥰💚🤍♥️
I make these all the time, everything seem almost the same but I never put milk in mine. I love them. Thanks for sharing. They were better then other recipes I saw.
Thank you for watching. The milk pulls together all the ingredients. So many wonderful recipes out there but I’m so happy you like mine. Lol 💖💖💖
💚🤍♥️

Mary.
Buon Giorno, Allesandra,
I just made these a couple days ago and they are DELICIOUS! After they cooled, I decided to freeze them. Now, I didn't think I had been too hard on them moving them into the freezer, but when I went to open them up yesterday, I saw a lot of the sesame seeds had fallen off except for the bottoms. What to do?
I still have perfectably usable toasted sesame seeds at the bottom of the bag. Think I can save these by brushing on a thin coat of orange-flavored sugar syrup and rolling them back in the seeds? darn.
Hello,
the syrup idea is great Unfortunately it is a cookie that the sesame will fall off. Thank you for watching.
Omgosh!!! I can not wait to make these tonight for my mom!!! 🤗💃 thank you 🙏 xo
Thank you so much! I’m sure she will love them. 💖
This recipe is so yummy!! Thank you Alessandra 🙏 my family loved them !! Mom is asking for me to make them again!!🥰💃
@@LindaMarotto thank you so much for letting me know. You just made me so happy. 💖💖💖
I love the idea of this cookie. Crisp like a biscotti. Could you put in almond extract instead of vanilla?
Can you freeze these?
I love your voice and the way you explain so nicely. Gratzi
Thank you so much for watching. You can certainly add any flavoring you like. I sometimes do anice.
They don’t freeze well because they lose the crunch but you can store them in an airtight container. I have an italian north Jersey accent. Go figure 😂🤣😂 thank you for your beautiful words. 💖
My nana put a teaspoon of anise extract in hers.
Made today!
I am making these today! The first time I made the the seeds didn't stick, hoping with your recipe they will! ❤️🙏😁🎄🎄🎄TY😋
Hello there,
You can also use egg wash to be sure they stick properly. Let me know how they turn out. As the cookie rises in the oven some do tend to fall off. Thank you for watching 💕💫🎄💚🤍♥️🎅🏼
@@alessandrasfoodislove thank you for the information...will let you know.😁
@@alessandrasfoodislove hi,I made these last night and they came out beautifully! Making another batch today plus your S cookies, and then every other cookie in you utube channel! Lol...their all my favorite!🤣😋 thank you so much! MERRY CHRISTMAS!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Hi great recipe thanks. I have a question.while I was rolling the dough some of them would split in the center.what do you thing that problem was? Thanks Ernie
Hi Ernie,
Was the dough splitting raw or when it cooked? If raw just work it a little longer. If when cooked it’s tropical because of the baking powder. I’d it like a split on a bread? Hope they taste delicious. Thank you for watching.
Hi Alessandra. I love these cookies! Great taste and texture. Thank you. I have a question. Every time I roll the dough into a log, the dough falls apart starting in the center. What can I do? Wish I could insert a picture here.
Hi Cecilia,
Thank you for reaching out. You can send me a picture on my email Alessandrasfoodislove@Gmail.com hope I can help.
Awesome! I will do that. Thanks!
Loveeee these! 😋 👌🏼👌🏼❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!! 💖
Interessante. Non li conoscevo questi biscotti e i semi di sesamo danno un bel carattere alla pasticceria secca. Qui in Italia non ho visto niente di simile allo shortening, forse la cosa più vicina è la margarina?
Ciao Vincenzo, sono biscotti Siciliani. La ricetta originale è con la sugna. La margarina e burro vanno benissimo, lo shortening è una sugna vegetale. In America devo dire che si fanno tante ricette di diverse regioni. La cosa simpatica che tra di noi oltre l’italiano parliamo il nostro dialetto. 😂😂💚🤍♥️tanti cari saluti
@@alessandrasfoodislove Grazie per l'informazione. La sugna la trovo anche qui in Toscana e in teoria potrei pure cercare di farmela da solo perché ricordo quando mia madre la faceva ogni anno. In un'altra vita, come tanti delle nostre parti, navigavo e sulle navi italiane ognuno parlava si il proprio dialetto da nord a sud ma tutti ci capivamo benissimo.E ridevamo. Tantissimi saluti anche a te.
I made the sesame cookies today using the measurements for grams rather than cups and it was the first time they turned out amazing! They dough was supple and the sesame seeds stuck perfectly to the dough. I must have made them too big because I only got about 50. But they are delicious! Thanks so much for your wonderful instructions. Any ideas on what to do with the extra toasted sesame seeds that I have left?
Thank you so much Lucille!! You’re so correct, baking with gram measurements is so much better. I’m glad they turned out great!💖
I used the extra sesame for my oatmeal in the morning. You can also make breadsticks with the sesame 💖
@@alessandrasfoodislove Thanks so much for responding. You have made me a believer in the accuracy of using grams. I’ll never go back to cups again when baking. I like the idea of breadsticks. I have some pizza dough frozen in the freezer so I can use that or maybe make a Stromboli and put the sesame seeds on top😋 Thanks again!
@@lucillecarnevaletourville8014 Stromboli sounds like a great plan! 💖
I been looking for a good Italian sesame cookies this recipe with shorting should make them crunchy?
Can you teach us how to make bread sticks with the sesame seeds also when you get a chance please !
Thank you. I will add it to the list of things to make! 🥰
Yes this is the real Sicilian sesame cookie that i remember..
Thank you so much! Not too sweet and with a nice crunch. 💚🤍♥️
Hello
Thank you for the recipie
Can I use olive oil in batter instead of shortening?
Hi Antonella, so sorry I just saw your messsge. Yes you certainly can.
@@alessandrasfoodislove Thank you!
@@antonellaprovenzano270 you’re very welcome! 💖
❤❤❤❤
Hi I made the BISCOTTI REGINA COOKIES WHEN IWAS ROLLING I DOUGH THEY WERE SPLIT
Hello Ernie,
Try to work the dough a few minutes longer. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching
Hi,, I made these cookies tonight, I followed all directions, I have been baking for years, Something seemed like it was missing. It seemed like i needed more vanilla or some other flavor. The cookie crunch was amazing, the taste not that great. Any suggestions? TIA
Hi Josie,
Thank you so much for watching. I would think more vanilla for the flavor. Maybe try a lemon zest too.
If you have an italian specialty store try the pan degli angeli vanillina. It comes in small packets.
Hope this helps. I might make a batch tomorrow too.
My favorite cookies,,,,at every bridal shower I pick them out of the trays
That sounds like me too. Lol. Thank you so much for watching. 💖
Hi , If you were to use butter, how much would you use?
Same amount of the oil.
Hi Alessandra, could you kindly advise if these freeze well?
They do freeze ok but unfortunately some of the sesame fall off easily.
It’s a delicate cookie, maybe best to freeze in a Tupperware and not a bag. Thank you so much for watching. Buon Anno 🎆
Ciao Alessandra, I just made these cookies and they are absolutely delicious! Grazie di cuore e buona domenica xo
@@alessandrasfoodislove
@@ciao4nao thank you so much. Buona Domenica 💕🙏🏻
🙏🤗
Grazie!! 💕
Can you freeze s cookies and sesame?
Thank you so much. Just be careful because sesame tend to fall off. A safe plastic container is a good idea to freeze them in.
Can these be put in the freezer?
Hi Simone, you can but I prefer an airtight container. Thank you so much fir watching. Grazie 💖
Buonissima Alessandra sono buonissimi con il caffè 💚🤍♥️
Sicuramente tu li fai buonissimi. Un abbraccio cara amica. 💖
@@alessandrasfoodislove no più troppo no mi cara non lo mai fatte io li mangio quando vado in Sicilia ♥️
Can I use butter instead of shortening?
Thank you so much! You sure can, the cookie will be more of a soft cookie. With the shortening it’s crunchier. 💖
Ok thank you good to know love your recipes ♥️
