I believe the Novara cookies are the simplest cookies I have ever made in my life, very tasty, one leads to another, and not having butter, they have a nearly infinite shelf life, especially if stored in the classic tin box.

What are the ingredients for Novara cookies?? Well, the classic ones for making sweets like eggs, sugar, and flour, all measured to the same weight, it couldn’t be simpler, haha!

I made these Novara cookies the other afternoon when I realized that despite making new recipes almost every day, I was without even a miserable cookie for coffee!!

The recipe comes from a must among Italian cookbooks, “Il talismano della felicità” by Ada Boni, a splendid book gifted to me by my ex-father-in-law, a cultured and kind gentleman native of Ischia, who is unfortunately no longer with us, and who, accustomed to excellent Campanian cuisine, perhaps feared for his poor child in the hands of this Romagna woman.

The Novara cookies are also butter-free, so there’s even more reason to prepare them in large quantities for the whole family’s breakfast!

No, I’m kidding, we always loved and respected each other up to the day of his passing with much affection…
Let me tell you about the condition of this book: it has been well-used, consulted, read carefully, and still bears the marks between the pages, of invitations and recipes tried, failed, and loved… CHECK ALSO
