Thank you for sharing this Receipt. I am 75 years old and have been craving this Wine Cookie since I was 9 years old when my parents divorced. My father was Italian.You are my Hero. Ciao, Cheryl Berardi

[@deeramos9416]

Thank you so much its been years ! No o e knew what i was talking about ! God bless thanks again

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Your welcome. Not a lot of people know what wine cookies are.

[@theresegranville5600]

Hedy was my grandmother’s name and I was very close to her. Thank you for your recipe! It sounds delicious - so many ingredients I love - and I can’t wait to make them. You are so fun to watch. I smiled all the way through the video.

[@kimhorn6714]

Your recipe is the same as my aunt used to make - she did it by hand - made a flour well etc - she made 3 things for my family; turdilli; scallilli (spelling); and ginettes - which I have found on various sites as "S" cookies. I decided I was making turdilli and scallilli this year to try... again. It was all done by feel (as you know) so measurements were "loose". Thank you for your half recipe - it will work for me. Merry Christmas to you 2023.

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

You call them ginettes, but we call them anginettes. The recipe is on my channel. Some people call them taralles. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHzIkISdrtOSoq8

[@Sylvia-fz8xx]

Fantastic! Thank you. Just like my mother used to make them who immigrated from Calabria. Even the sprinkles! She didn't have a food processor and mixed them by hand, but the result looks just like yours. We love them!

[@lorettaferro5649]

My Grandma was from Calabria and made these too.

[@lorettaferro5649]

My Grandmother was also Calabrese. She made these and packed them in a crock with the honey. THANK YOU. I thought the recipe was lost forever!

[@doniadonia8171]

So did mine! No one ever got the recipe but feeling so nostalgic for my Grandma and will give this a try ... thank you!! 🙂

[@0703la]

My grandmother used to make these and I never could find a recipe. I never even knew what they were called. If I had some wine in the house I’d make them today. Thanks so much for the recipe!

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

You are so welcome!

[@TheChrisDeRario]

Been looking fir wine cookie recipe, and found you. Feel like I’m with family! Thank you. Love your style 🌹 Merry Christmas

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Thank you. Hope you enjoy them.

[@JustMe-vo9bq]

I just came across you making these..I just finished making a batch with my husband! We use his mother’s recipe which is almost identical to yours . The Only thing different is that you added sugar to the dough. I’m going to try that the next time..which will be next Christmas, because yes, they are a lot of work. I’m going to try rolling them on the grater like you did. My mother in law used a basket and we looked high and low for one that would make the same design..so just ended up using a fork. As a side note, you’re right with people not wanting to share their recipes..I think the y don’t want anyone to make it better! My aunts would do that to my mother and she just knew they didn’t give her the full recipe. Anyway, I’m so glad I found your channel..and now I have subscribed ... My husband and I grew up in the Bronx, and you remind me of someone from ‘ the neighborhood’..

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

I’d rather not give them any recipe instead of leaving something out. I only use a half cup of sugar. Made them tonight with my daughter-in-law. She wanted to learn.

[@JustMe-vo9bq]

@@NannysItalianKitchen Thanks for replying. I agree about giving a recipe and leaving things out, but every one is different..Nice your daughter in law wants to learn..and will keep family tradition going. My mother in law had three sons and I’m the Only Italian daughter in law. I’m also the only one who continues with her recipes .

[@tinakeegan17]

Omg thank u so much. My great aunt used 2 make them and I could never figure them out. ❤️❤️❤️

[@snookerb6777]

My mother used to make wine cookies and Honey Cookies..Both were Delicious. You brought back some wonderful memories. Thank you Oh the Wine Cookies are from Calabria region

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

I'm so happy I could bring back those memories for you. They brings memories back to me too.

[@Patinell]

My mother used to make something similar. The dough was very simple--four and olive oil I think. Probably baking powder like you said. After that she made a syrup. This changed over the years. First it was raisons and (?) Wine I think. I wish I could remember. I lost the recipe ages ago. Sooo good.

[@dchormel]

I have been looking for this Calabrese recipe for years!! My Aunt Mary always made these for Christmas Eve! When she died the recipe went with her. I don’t remember any cinnamon flavor but I’m going to make these exactly like you do. So excited to try these!! ~ have you ever made grispelli? Another Calabrese recipe. Basically a fried dough Aunt Mary only made at Christmas time.

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Do you mean crispelle? They are very much like zeppole which I have a video of on my channel.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZLSm2yGpqeJhqssi=lZlIcisLCS647FFw

buono natale....greetings from Naples, FLORIDA

[@mariamach2916]

OMG! I think you’re talking about my grandma. Marie (nanny) 0:03 from East Harlem. I just made them with my daughter. I was reminiscing with Molly.

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Did she live on Pleasant Avenue between 115th and 116th Street? Arlene had a sister Molly and they called her mother Dolly.

[@lidlow100]

Love Love Love your recipes! I have been making these for years but we called it wine cakes. Never knew the actual name. Don't stop making these videos it brings me back to NY. I can't imagine what idiot would give you a bad comment!!! Love ya!

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Thank you so much Marianna. Some people just have to complain. I won't stop. Have a lot going on right now, but plan on making Lentils Two Ways - in soup and pasta lenticchie.

[@camilleandreozzi2874]

This is the first time I watched your video of Turdilli. My mom used to make them and I still do every Christmas. She also grew up in East Harlem on E. 116th Street between 2nd & 3rd Ave.

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

I Used to hang out at the Harlem House. Quite a few of my friends lived on 116th. How old was your mother?

[@robinsacco2298]

Thank you so much. I have been looking for this recipe for 35 years. My Aunt Angie would not give me the recipe. She said it was “too difficult!”

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Robin Sacco Your welcome. It’s not difficult at all. She just didn’t want to share.

[@sheilaahumada6647]

Thank you so much Hedy been looking for this recipe since the 1960's when my Nana came over and made them. Love them. God bless you so much for sharing. Amen Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family !

I just made some- fabulous!

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Happy to hear it. Merry Christmas! 🍷

[@dianeamoroso]

Looks just like what my mom used to make but were called Cannariculi

[@itsjohndell]

You really got me on this one. Never had these! You had me at Marsala, though both that and sherry together sound good. No time to make these for Xmas, but New Years! Truth to tell sounds better than Strufulli, lol. .

[@cindywhite8118]

I am so going to make these. Thank you. Share more please. Love your stories and recipes.

[@susanmarino8026]

Thank you so much for the recipe. I love these too. I will be making them tomorrow.

Thank you for getting back to me. 😃

Absolutely divine ❤️👍 🍷 🍷

[@susanmarino8026]

Hi, I made these cookies last year and they were so very good. I have one question, how do you store them or should you eat them within a week? Thanks again for the recipe.

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Susan Marino You can freeze them before you put on the honey. You can put them in the honey after you defrost them.

[@LadyLuca1]

Hiya, can you make these using anise flavouring instead of cinnamon. Thank you for your videos they are great!

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Of course you can, if that's your preference.

[@colleenhocking9022]

Yea!

[@andreamoon6682]

My mom been trying to get this recipe right for yearsshes funny I understand you

[@user-xt7pj3nq4z]

Hi I love the recipe what type of oil do you use? These are just like the ones my grandmother made very excited to make them!

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

I used Canola, but you can use any kind of oil.

[@user-xt7pj3nq4z]

Thank you! This is going to make my Christmas special. : )@@NannysItalianKitchen

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

That makes me happy. Merry Christmas.@@user-xt7pj3nq4z

[@Altosax50]

My mother did the same thing to my wife with her potica' recipe. Left out an ingredient...25 years later she's still not amused

[@lizziefashionlover]

Ahhaha

[@colleenhocking9022]

Hi Hedy happy to see you. Can you make Tadal cookies?

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Hi Colleen, I will make them in the near future. Thanks for your support.

[@lizziefashionlover]

“ I eat the wine cookies and gain 10 lbs “ same.. same 😂🥺

[@cindyn8196]

I just made them Sunday!!!

[@arleendamico2734]

Are using dry or sweet Marsala wine ? Also the oil you are using is it Veg. Oil ?

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

I use Canola oil. As for the Marsala the bottle does not state sweet or dry. It's just Marsala. The brand name is Cibaro.

[@kaidosbuddyagaindoberman9119]

I love the shows, look forward to more. I do have to admit I find the background music distracting. I can’t here her son when he talks, and the music appears to be on a repeat feed so it’s the same lyrics anyway, so would be better without. (It cut down a few times and it was so better to hear Hedy). Just my two cents. Food looks great. Yum

[@dianeamoroso]

What temperature do you need to keep the oil at?

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

Around 360

[@Virful]

Cool

[@santaorlando6655]

Hi what’s the best wine to use? I definitely want to make these

[@NannysItalianKitchen]

I use Marsala.

I only found out the name when I made the video. I researched it. I made them for 40 years and never knew the name.

[@stephanieb3915]

I'm pretty sure they are Calabrese, my great nonna who was from Calabria made them

[@hedytaranto5141]

You could be right. My family never made them growing up. I got the recipe from one of my girlfriend's mothers. In any event I love them.❤
