My mom had a wonderful talent for baking, especially because of her Italian heritage. As a child my most vivid memories are waking on a Saturday morning to the aroma of a kitchen counter filled with Italian Sicilian Cookies. They were baked once, not twice as traditional Sicilian Cookies, thus making them truly “cake like”. The sight was spectacular as each and every biscotto was perfectly frosted and the sheer delight of biting into one was as my father would say “pure heaven!” My mom took me under her wing and taught me her most prized secrets in the baking of these gourmet treats. When I became an adult, married and had children of my own I had the passion to learn more about these wonderful Sicilian Cookies that had become a tradition at our family gatherings and celebrations. I think that you will agree they are the most delicious Sicilian Cookies you will ever taste. You’ll find yourself entranced and satisfied from the very first bite to the last. My mom has since passed away, but I know she would be so proud to know how much enjoyment these Sicilian Cookies have brought to so many people. Enjoy! Read about us in the Grand Rapids Press
