What's your favorite holiday cookie? Let us know because there's no such thing as too many cookies in our life! 😂
It’s hard to beat classic chocolate chip cookies and milk. I add a bunch of cinnamon to mine as a bit of a twist.
In Poland we have pierniczki and they are amazing,for me this is the taste of Christmas 😊
Bizcochitos. A cookie specific to New Mexico.
Eva, would love to see the Italian fried cookies, I think called Bow ties, or Farfalletta, or Chiachiere usually made for Carnevale?
I milanesini, per la loro semplicità.
“These cookies are made all over this one postal code, but it varies from the north side of the street to the south side. Even numbered houses cook it this way, but…”.
Eva’s fine knowledge of regional cooking variations continues to impress me. She’s a food historian.
Eva put caps on the electrical outlets to keep Harper from shoving paperclips into them to see what happens. That's true love right there.🥰
😂😂😂
The first cookie would be excellent for Passover, when we can't use grains. Bravo!! 🍪🥠🍣
Shkoyach
Ground pistachios or ground pine nuts can be used for those who don’t care for almonds.
Four ladies made over 600 Christmas cookies this year to give to friends and neighbors. So fun! Maybe we’ll add these next year!
i am constantly amazed by how much Eva knows about foods from all the regions of Italy. As much as I love the cooking info I also love the cultural information that is always a part of food. Thank you for your amazing channel. And I love the interaction between Harper and Eva. You guys are incredibly cute together.
Thanks Eva, I´m definitively going to do the Torroncini. My nonno was born Sicily but the remaining italian family live in Florence. He came to Uruguay after WWI in 1919. I always bake cookies to include in my gifts but the recipy I use is none of these.. so thanks for giving me more options. They look quite yummy!
I'm half-Lucanian on my mom's side and in my mom's town in northern Basilicata, two cookies share the crown for preferred Christmas cookie: Pizzicannelli and Calzoncelli. Pizzicannelli are similar to the Mostaccioli she made, but they're oval and have a dry, opaque coating. Calzoncelli are small, crunchy cookies, stuffed with a chocolate and chestnut based filling and they're my favourite of the two.
That being said, being also half-Sicilian, i think my favourite christmas cookie (although you can find it anytime really) are Foglie da Thè, a suuuper local thin and crispy cookie (comes in two variations, Pistachio and Almonds) from Zafferana Etnea, CT. You will not stop eating them, they're devilishly dangerous if you don't control yourself.
😋
her hair needs its own channel!!🥰
Buon Natale e Buone feste a tutti i membri della grande famiglia di Pastagrammar.
Merry Christmas, Eva, Harper and to all Pasta Grammarians! 🎄🎅☃️
Same to you! ❤️
Harper, your singing is very good 👍 and Eva's xmas cookies must be delicious 😋 Buon natale!
Thank you 🤗
I am making a batch of easy authentic cookies every night this week with a vague around the world of Christiandom theme for Christmas cookies. Yesterday, I made pecan shortbread for the British isles. Today I made the Torroncini Abruzzesi. My meringues both fell when I folded things into them, but I suspect they will be forgiving meringues. Tomorrow will be a lemon ginger bar from America that harkens a German family favorite of pfeffernuese that may represent South America because I took them to my son’s Christmas piano recital years ago. His piano teacher was newly arrived Colombian and took one bite and said “ohh these are really good! They are like something mi abuela made.” He didn’t know who made them and didn’t know I overheard, so I take it as an authentic compliment. My mother volunteered my father to make his very American cranberry oatmeal cookies as an American offering. I may need something more eastern or Scandinavian to round out the collection.
Greetings from Aus. My wife and I love your videos. My dad hails from Acquaro. When I stumbled upon your channel I found something very familiar about Eva's cooking and even her mannerisms. She reminds me of my younger cousins. I try to recreate the dishes my mother used to make but they rarely seem to be as good. I think I'm getting better. Pasta Grammar has provided me with a perfect reference guide. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much for sharing a recipe from Abruzzo. My Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother were from Villalago. It's nice to see something they may have enjoyed
My mom’s parents were from Villetta Barrea and my dad was born in San Eufemia and grew up in Pacentro. All 3 town in the Abruzzo region. I’ve heard of Villalago, but not sure exactly where it is. Is it close to the Parco Nationale di Abruzzo? Any how, if you’ve never tried Torroncini, you should. They are so delicious and fairly easy to make. If you love meringue and almonds, you will love them! Buon Natalie!
Ricotta cookies are my favorite to make for the holidays.
I can understand Eva's reluctance to say diamond, it took some time to me as well to translate rombo shaped to diamond shaped. Rombo gives a better idea of something flatter than a diamond.
I recently fell in love with Italian rainbow cookies. I don't remember Eva making these (but I could be wrong) but I would *love* if she would show us how they're made & any tricks/ tips she might have.
I fear that those rainbow cookies aren't Italian at all. They are Italian-American.
These cookies reminds me of my nonna making cookies for Christmas. She was Puglia
Struffoli are xmas favorites in my family.
We make tetu, similar flavor profile, but no ground almonds and the cookies are rolled into round shapes. We add a tiny amount of anise extract to the glaze. So good!
Oooh Thank you for the Christmas cookie recipes. I will name making all three! Merry Christmas 🎄 ❤
Thank you so much for making these cookies that come from Abruzzo! Since both sides of family are from Abruzzo, of course we make these Torroncini for the holidays or special occasions! In fact, I just made some a couple of weeks ago. These truly are so delicious and not difficult to make at all. Well done Eva! Brava! 👏🏻👍🏻
We make all our holiday gifts! I agree, food is the best gift!!
I made mostaccioli for the first time this year! I always love the spiced cookies. My grandmother made a spiced chocolate drop with walnuts. I dream about them!!!
Merry Christmas! I don’t do Instagram or Facebook, so there’s no way for me to show you a photo of the Zaeti I just finished baking. They look beautiful and taste ‘scrumptious’! Thank you for sharing your recipes, your passion for great food and for inspiring me and so many others to make something delicious and be able to confidently say to their loved ones who are gathered around the dinner table, “Buon appetito!”
Oh my gosh when I was a girl we would purchase the nougat squares they would come in tiny boxes . My mom would make Italian egg cookies that were iced and sprinkles on top . ❤️
I love Mostaccioli!! I cannot wait to bake/eat the cookies we make and adore the Apulian mostaccioli variant, usually the Napoletano or Siciliano forms are in bake shops.
I’m not a cookie person but the ground almond and the polenta cookies really tempt me
Yes it's Christmas, time for Pitta 'mpigliata and Turdilli . Merry Christmas !
These look very delicious. I really want to try mostaccioli!
I am already wondering if you can do a similar video (videos?) in the run-up to Easter? I love Spring and Easter and some Italian treats would make it even better.
Ooh, we’re headed to Abruzzo at the end of the month. I’ll see if we can find them while it’s still holiday time.
I have Mostaccioli every Christmas. They are my favourite cookies
The third ones look the best.
Eva makes an adorable elf. I’d love to see some biscotti
I made Eva’s Mostaciolli calabrase recipe for my office’s potluck.
It was simple and delicious 🤤 thank u Eva
Vi ho scoperto solo ora, ma sarete sicuramente tra i miei canali preferiti, siete genuini e fantastici, come degli amici che conosci da anni e fa sempre piacere incontrare.
Merry Christmas ⛄🎁 and happy new year 🎊🕛🎊
I love Italian cookies ❤❤❤❤❤
This one I been looking for thank you
Eva never ceases to amaze us ❤
Can’t wait to see what’s next
Any ingredients to stock up on for Christmas cooking?
Chestnut cream and Manitoba flour 🤫
@@PastaGrammar Manitoba can I use a normal 13% bread flour (shocking enough it’s better to get a store brand here. Name brand bread flour is barely 11.8% protein here , similar to store brand all purpose flour ) or maybe Caputo lungo levitation?
In USA 00 flour is? Brand?
Awesome! Thank you!
I can't wait to try these! They look so delicious!
I cannot wait to try these!
Always look forward to your videos. I have been making cookies all week. Yours looks delicious.
Thank you so much.
Buon Natale
Look delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!!! I cannot wait to make these!!! Merry Christmas to you both!!! God Bless
I’m going to make them all thank you Eva
Lovely Christmas Cookies Eva and Harper!
Merry Christmas Harper and Eva.
At Christmas time my family makes cookies with ricotta and lemon with a confectioners sugar glaze/icing on top. They come out soft like the polenta cookies you made. I don't know what the correct Italian name for them is, but we all grew up calling them pot cheese cookies. SO GOOD! Is Eva familiar with them?
Thanks!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thank you so much for all these recipes. Best wishes.
Merry Christmas. Thank you. God Bless and stay safe.
Grazie Mille! Buon Natale. Thank you, for more Gluten Free recipes. I'm excited to try the Polenta cookie!
I love you guys together definitely love Ava‘s way of cooking and teaching. I know she also teaches Italian I had a question. My daughter is interested in taking and learning Italian cause she’s going there in 2024 and we live in Phoenix and I’d like to know if there’s a way she’d be interested in teaching her And how I can contact you guys. I know there’s a lot more cooking she’s gonna do for us and I can’t wait to see what you guys bring to the table. Thank you and merry Christmas.❤🎉🎄
Buon Natale Eva e Harper. Mille grazie 🎉
Oh, NO! I am finished with my Christmas baking and here are three more cookies that I MUST try. These look like an amazing addition to my cook tray. Thank you!!!🎄
Happy Holidays!❤
Am I the only one who smiles at the way Harper says "cookie"?
Harper, since you like corn based cookies, ask Eva to make Paste di Meliga, they're amazing and very easy to make!
Will do, thanks for the tip!
The torroncini are ridiculously good!! 😋
Buon Natale to you both and your respective families. God bless
Those torrone look amazing!!! Those were always part of our Xmas - we'd put them in amongst bowls of fresh nuts for daytime grazing. Brazil nuts, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, etc. On Xmas eve we fry fish - smelt, squid, etc. and have stuffed shells (I have no idea how Italian the stuffed shells are to be honest, but they are definitely what I call "East Coast Italian") stuffed with ricotta, sausage etc.
Very Italian!
Loved your video. Will definitely try them. I especially liked the part when Harper sang White Christmas.., 😊
Those all look delicious! Especially the ones with the Cocoa. My Mom who was Italian decent made one very similar without the crushed Almonds.
Love tthin gingerbread cookies like you find at IKEA, but homemade
I like the Italian cookies with anise in them that have a simple powered sugar glaze with the round colored sprinkles on top. I don’t know what they are called. My neighbor that lived next door growing up made those and the anise flavored pizzelle.
My favorite cookies are Triple Ginger. My granddaughters are coming today to help make them. I give them to my neighbors, and have some for our Christmas. Merry Christmas.
Hello Eva&Harper..buonissimi biscotti..sono buoni in tutta Italia Isole comprese!!..vi auguro ogni bene, salute,gioia è serenità!!..a tutti Un Santo Natale..Merry Christmas to everyone 🎉❤
M’y preferred Italian Christmas treat is panforte.
A gluten free italian Christmas cookie!!! Yes! Made the first one...thank you
Damn, I was betting the box was a "family" test result.. Oh well, enjoy the cookies❤👍
Eva & Harper are a lovely team. Thank you for these lovely Christmas Cookie recipe. Feliz Navidad. Saludos desde El Barrio de Spanish Harlem, NYC.💯🎄⛄🎄⛄🦌🎅🤶 22:00
Wow wouldn’t you know this your featured in a magazine I subscribe to. Panorama!! Food for Thought. Silvana Longo Travel Editor. And just when I thought otherwise about you guys. This magazine is a staple about Italian culture. ❤❤❤in Canada there’s is quite a feature on both of you😮
I wish there was taste=o=vision! Those look like delicious cookie recipes.I can't wait to try them. Thank you so much for sharing your cooking and baking skills.
delicious ethnic treats ! thanks for using ur head !!
Complimenti Eva e Harper.
The polenta cookies look great< I will try these. For Christmas dinner, I always have .....Lasagna!
Love What UEAT,,a youtuber and you are my favorite,,
Happy holidays! Might be an idea to gift a power strip for that kitchen. 😆
Yummo
I had Linzer cookies made with cornmeal as a child. The proportion of flour to cornmeal was three to one.
Originally I come from Scilla near Reggio Calabria but i live in Germany.
For me the Best Christmas cookies is Petrali.....i dont know if Eva know that cookies but they are amazing 😁🍪
Ragazzi in Abruzzo we have il parrozzo...prova Eva è buonissimo ❤
Eva, you are a goddess. Mayhap an elf goddess, but one none the less.
Arthur, you are a true Santa-baby.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good cookie!
My faves are anise pizzelles.
Those "almond bricks" would be so perfect to build a sort of gingerbread house....lol
Mustacciuolo classico, qua a Foggia in Puglia sono d'obbligo per Natale. Così come le Crustole ed i Cavzuncill(calzoncini), che assieme ai classici Pandoro e Panettone non mancano mai durante le feste Natalizie.
Harper if you like cookies with food coloring, try rainbow cookies which are an Italian/American cookie.
I had to move due to my health & in doing so I had to say goodbye to my Italian friends.
I want to cook Cotechino with lentils for my family on the first day of the year.
There are recipes I could find I am sure, but Ava is the oracle (L'oracolo) of good tasting food, her pasta alla Norma is my favourite dish, period.
Ava - can you come to the aid of this desperate English man - please?
Buon Natale a tutti e due xx
Now I want to make these cookies, and I don't even celebrate Chrismas!
Same here🎉😘
I don't need a holiday to devour 1 or 2...maybe 10 😋
of these cookies!
I hope for a merry christmas for you. Will you please explore your city for some Mexican cookies for the holidays. I only use Mexican Vanilla. Look for it at a local mexican market.
Can you please do a video on the fishes of Christmas Eve? I’m looking for inspiration as we always serve fish Christmas Eve. Thank you.
the Charles Bridge in Prague is made with egg whites and it is still fine :)
I always buy a tin of IKEA cookies for myself as my boys hate cinnamon. I’ve made Pan Pepato and we will eat that along with Panettone and Pandoro. Buon Natale a tutti.
18:02 Of course, for the packaging, the colors of Italy could not be missing ! 🇮🇹
There are cornmeal cookie recipes particularly in Americas south
I just made the Zaeti. They are delicious. I had a twist on them tho because i added some chopped almonds :))
