In the video Clara states One pound of lard but the recipe list on right states one cup of lard. The lard block looks like one pound not one cup. Thanks for taking the time to pass this recipe on. I will give it a try soon.

God Bless you Clara
Thank you so much! I have been looking for a recipe to make these cookies similar to the way my grandma did and It looks as if I’ve finally found it.

Mmm…those look delicious. My Grandma used to make something similar to the fig cookies, except we’d use walnuts instead of figs, and top it off with icing sugar.
It sure brings back memories since they were usually only made around Christmas. I think I’ll be trying your recipe sometime.

This is what life is about. Good food with family surrounding you. I love that Clara is handing down her Italian traditions to the next generation.

12. ChloePierre | February 15th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
Maybe we all have something to learn here….Cook with lard and white flour but eat lots of fruit and fiber too….and you might just live to 90something! Great video!

Cucidati??? In Italian “BUCCELLATI”, in Sicily is “CUCCIDDATI”

“Good for you when you’re constipated.” XD WOOT!
17. SanDiegoFKNROCKS | February 23rd, 2009 at 8:04 am
my grandmother makes it just like you, but a different style the cookies look.
are you sicilian yourself?
18. earthmother | February 26th, 2009 at 4:17 am
the lard is necessary for flakiness….and flavor
it’s not like you are going to sit and eat the whole batch….or are you?
19. earthmother | February 26th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
makes my mouth water
will try these in the fall….can these be made more like ‘ravioli’ style?

22. slobomotion | February 28th, 2009 at 11:37 am
My Nana, Pennsy Dutch, used to make little nutcup cookies once a year. A bit dry but wonderful. I ate most of them and she was happy. The others kind of ignored them.
23. rimafeather | March 2nd, 2009 at 12:18 am
I hope I do as well as Clara when I make these cookies! I love you, Clara, a big heart, sensible mind, good health, family, what more do you need?
