How to Make PASTE DI MANDORLA | Sicilian Almond Cookie Recipe

[@PastaGrammar]

These cookies are so easy to make, we highly recommend trying them! What recipe should we tackle next?

[@jebarijihed]

They are so similar to some traditional cookies, we do in Tunisia. If you add a little bit of cinnamon power and some orange flower water, replace the almonds, nuts with mandarin orange or date pates you get our recipe. Notice that the cinnamon power should be almost nothing a small very small amount

Sicilian cannoli

[@juliazappone2021]

How about creme puffs or sfagatell, I think it's called? It looks like a clam shell and it is filled with an almond paste. We had them in NY and they are so good!!

[@sweeney60]

These look like they would be perfect Christmas Cookies! I’m thinking I’ll make these for Easter!

[@cterriquez]

Excellent video guys, grazie... I'm a BIG meat eater and would love to see what is your italian version of a thick juicy steak. Ciao from Mexico!!

[@matteframe]

"Be creative, but in the right way". Words of wisdom! I don't even bake cookies but I might have to try this. So simple.

[@crankiemanx8423]

I know,that made me giggle when she said that...😃

[@brunostracqua]

I am seriously addicted to them! Every time my dad would go to Siciliy he would send some. They are really great with an espresso!

[@etanoox46]

Siiiiiii, le Paste di Mandorla :) :) Super easy and super tasty... I love you guys because you are putting a great deal of emphasis on our Sicilian food! Sicilian Institutions must pay you as you are doing the best advertising ever!

[@PastaGrammar]

Grazie!

[@ldlink3935]

I would definitely recommend whisking the sugar and almond together PRIOR TO dumping them into the liquids to ensure equal distribution. Also, be sure to blanch your almonds (remove the skins).

[@jt.s.7418]

That seems like a good tip. 🎉

[@hagris]

Thank you so much for this recipe I love it! My oven oven cooks way faster than yours I had to reduce the baking time a bit but they are amazing! I’m starting experimenting a bit with the recipe ( replaced 100g of almond flour by hazelnut flour and added a bit of Nutella inside the hole at the top it’s absolutely delicious ! ) I will also experiment with lemon, orange and orange flower extract (not sure about the translation here I just translated that from French sorry if no one knows what I’m talking about haha) Hope this message gives some inspiration to other people to try this recipe too ! It’s also so easy you can do it with kids like I did with my 4 year old daughter ! Thanks again from France ❤️

[@michaelmullard4292]

My family makes these delectable cookies every year at Christmas. They are wonderful with coffee, espresso or a bit of vin santo!

[@marialuisabovo]

🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@chihuahuasrule1175]

I'm starting to learn the magic of baking with almond flour. I have recently purchased it and some almond extract. Thanks for providing me with another recipe! I will definitely try to make this. Can you do more Italian cookie recipes? I live far away from proper Italian bakeries, but have always wanted to visit and taste everything from them.

[@justinelhillow]

Yum! We eat these cookies throughout the middle east/Arab world. They are delicious! Thank you for sharing Eva and Harper!♥️ Love your videos!♥️♥️♥️

[@angelavestlee1]

thank you two for giving us this recipe. These are the best cookies I ever ate. I didn't use the cherries but I put almonds and pecans on top. Very wonderful cookies. Will be making them again.

[@Kammaflaje]

This is really interesting. I'm from Sweden and we have exactly the same cookie here. But I guess most of Europe share food recipes. My prehistoric ancestor went to Italy and took some "life styles" and the other way around. I find it quite interesting that Eva shows something and we have the same or something very similar. We'll never the less harper you need to learn the superior system the metric one and what ever temperature is called. 😉

[@baconbap]

They look like pretty Christmas cookies.

[@satchmodog2]

My grandmother made these every holiday. Absolutely the best cookie ever, especially with the candied cherry :)

[@jeanneamato8278]

A melon baller might help making them all same size quickly. I love these. I love almonds. I love you guys.

[@nickiealtieri-enochs1914]

These are one of my families favorite. Soft on the inside ❤️

[@lisacraze1]

Oh I can’t wait to try these!

[@christinek6111]

I am so excited to try these!! I am not much of a baker, but it looks like I could handle these. And I had to give up gluten a year ago, so the fact that these are gluten free is a huge plus. Grazie!

Sono uno dei miei dolci preferiti. Il video è bellissimo, amo la cura che ci mettete in ogni ricetta.

I love these cookies so much! They are delicious memories from my childhood and of every Sicilian wedding I ever attended.

Good morning Eva and Harper May have a great wonderful day filled with happiness, I noticed yesterday it’s celebrate in Italy and around Europe that it was women’s international day wishing you the best Eva with good health and wisdom you are incredible and amazing keep inspiring and teaching your amazing culture when it comes down to food…

[@GenX172]

Love these we make them at Christmas, my family is Italian Canadian but from Sicily! Another idea is a cookie called Mustaccioli they are made with molasses I think and also a favourite in Sicily. Thank you for another wonderful video.

[@ilarya8463]

mustaccioli sure are from Napoli. I'm not sure is Sicily has his version

[@GenX172]

@@ilarya8463 I think so because I get mine from my Neapolitan friends here in Montreal. All I can say is Sicilians love them too

[@lucillepetronella6625]

This looks fast and easy . A good starter recipe for people not comfortable baking

[@daniby9894]

@Lucille Petronella It is, fast and easy, but the cookies are awesome unlike any you ever had and taste very similar to marzipan only it's soft and goey. 🤤

these are SENSATIONAL! i really wasn't sure if the dough was going to come together, but it did like a charm. really tasty and beautiful texture. you know when Eva is enthralled with the taste of something, and she spins her eating utensil or hand around to show how delish it is? well, we ALL found that it's THAT GOOD. this is a keeper, especially for Christmas treats.

[@rowane6838]

Love those so much. They are great rolled in finely chopped pistachios or pine nuts too !

[@felicitywright791]

This is fascinating! They are almost exactly the same as traditional English almond macaroons. They used to be available in every bakery and cafe but seems to have been completely supplanted by French macarons. I might need to move to Italy! Thank you for enlightening me. xxx

[@lynnep6532]

Almond flavored cookies are my favorite. I will definitely be making these easy looking gems. Thank you for this lovely recipe.

[@juliazappone2021]

Love that you have Harper make do many things. Well done Harper. Having company on Sunday and needed a light, delicious dessert. This is the one! ❤ Thank you for your channel and introducing us to the many wonders of Italy! I have made 4 of your recipes so far. So wonderfully delicious!

As a child, between November /December, i remember my granma preparing "Pan'e Saba", based on wine must, almonds and sultanas..... Wrapped in transparent paper, it was a very welcome Christmas gift in every household..... A small piece was always accompanied by a sip of moscato (very sweet wine, sometimes, in Sardinia, still called "women wine" 😁) at the end of the dinner

IMHO is better to grind yourself the almonds , because the bought almond flour is less flavorful and sometimes too fine and” powdery” , in my experience.
