I also like those three or four color cookies that are moist (not sure the name).

Or that one that looks like a clam is good too.
I also like the anisette toast.


Whats your favorite? Where do you get em'?

pignoli are amazing, both chocolate & vanilla lace are terrific

but last month, i had tri-color cookies with a pignoli paste (or at the very least in the jelly) -- the greatest cookie ever

[Death Metal Moe]

Pignoli nuts are fucking disgusting. I've hated them all my life. In Middle Eastern cooking they use them in rice sometimes. Who the fuck puts something hard in rice?!?!?

As far as my favorite Italian cookie, I don't know the names of many but I'd say the "Free" kind. Wacka wacka.

but honestly, I don't think I've ever had a well prepared Italian dish or other food item I didn't like.

these are great with a little powder sugar on them.

I also like 2 other cookies but cant remember their names or how even to describe them. I just called my mother and she knows exactly what Im talking about, she didnt know the names either. Thanks Mom for no help!

I love Pizzelles ever since I was a little kid. My Aunt's family is Italian and her Mom always brought them to family gatherings. After she found out I liked them, she would make a special little bundle for me to take home. :smile:

Do conollis count or are they just considered pastries?

[Hottub]

Cannoli are pastries.

I don't know what the fuck kind of cookie a conolli is!

Is there anything better? Damn, now I have to stop by Ferrara's after work and pick up a dozen.

[sr71blackbird]

I guess I should have made the thread to include pastries too.

Love these! Made them for a term project in a baking class...had to tell the story behind them too. While it may be obvious I never realized until I did the project it is supposed represent the Italian flag. Doh!

My sister loves them too. She's a cheap birthday gift, all I need to do is give her a pound of 'em and she is ecstatic.

These are the greatest fucking cookies EVER. Bar none. When I was in high school my girlfriend worked at a bakery and she'd bring me a box at lunchtime and I'd have to fight off the rest of the animals so I could get my fair share.

And when I say fair share I mean about a pound and a half.
