    Thanks to Mom for joining me this week🎄The original recipe uses almond extract so feel free to use that - but we personally love vanilla. Hope you all enjoy these!🥰

    Thank you Mom and Bethany! My dear wife makes 10 dozen cookies a week for a local non-profit called Reigning Grace Ranch and is always looking for recipes. Me, other than bread I don’t bake. But I love cookies❤
    Congratulations, Mom for raising such a talented and gracious daughter!

    My grandmother made these. I had forgotten them, she passed away in 1986 when I was 28. I liked these very much.

    Hi Bethany and Barbara.
    Barbara is also my mothers name.
    I love tradition.I love authentic recipes.I wish i could try one of these cookies.
    My best childhood friend is 100% norweigan and his mom made lefse.
    I have a feeling these cookies melt in your mouth.
    Family recipes are the best.
    Enjoy your holidays with your family.
    Xmas cards are in the mail tomorrow.
    Im craving biscotti.
    Is there a main course entre for italians on Christmas?
    Antipasto platter?
    I know it has olives.
    Happy holidays

    • @Asimplepalate
      @Asimplepalate  Месяц назад +1

      Love to hear it!! yes, they do melt in your mouth. Our Christmas main course will be next weeks video :) (if all goes smoothly with me filming it that is lol).

    This was so interesting. My heritage is German and the tradition passed down through multiple generations is a recipe very similar to yours. The biggest difference is that (1) we use lard instead of butter and (2) we shape them into an S versus a crescent.
    We will be making ours next week!

    • @Asimplepalate
      @Asimplepalate  Месяц назад +1

      Love to hear that! Never tried an S shape but I might have to next time I make these:)

    What a blessing this video! Love to all and Holiday blessings abound! Small reveal here. I hate these cookies. Not because they aren't great. But they are lethal for old Italian men. I think You gals make em just to shut us up. Any Paisano will attest, they are great, but don't dare take one to nibble as you start the story....one inhale of the powdered sugar and your choking to death, while every conosciente laughs at your peril! Buon Natale!!

      That is very kind, Rob! :) i'm just a home cook, only sharing the things I enjoy to cook. I'm really glad it is helping you! And I've been really wanting to get a risotto recipe out here, it was one of the first things I made when I started a simple palate but never got a recipe up. We will this year though :)

    Ciao Amica Mio. Come Stai. Those looked yummy. My mom didn't bake. But I do remember going to my Nonna's house Christmas Eve and bringing the Rainbow cookies, even though they are cake, Pignoli cookies, Sfiudella (spell check) and of course Strufoli. If you know where to get them by us please let me know. Dio Ti Benedica 🇺🇸✝️🇮🇹🥀

    • @Asimplepalate
      @Asimplepalate  Месяц назад

      All of those sound delicious, Edward! I wish I knew a place - I would be there! I've always wanted to try Struffoli! Thanks so much😊

    • @edward2448
      @edward2448 Месяц назад

      @Asimplepalate Good Evening neighbor. Try frying dollar tree Gnocchi. Do it from raw, don't boil them. They float when done. You can dress them like Strufoli. I promise you will love it. Ciao Bella Amica Mio 🇺🇸✝️🇮🇹🥀

    Can the vanilla and cinnamon be swapped out for allspice and almond as a spice cookie?

      you certainly can change things up if you'd like! It's pretty adaptable :)
