If you love Sicilian cuisine and grandma's recipes, the Squisiti cookies are truly a traditional Sicilian recipe. The Squisiti biscuits are dunking cookies similar to dunking cookies made with lard and ammonium bicarbonate, but they are made with regular baking powder and have a denser, crunchier texture. They are excellent for breakfast with milk or coffee, for an afternoon snack or a quick bite, and they are also delightful at the end of a meal with a small glass of sweet wine. Truly delicious in name and in fact, these cookies are also called \"S-shaped\" cookies, although they are not the famous Catanese nun's cookies, even if they are equally well-known. These golden, crunchy cookies, with their characteristic star-shaped cross-section and amber color, are prepared in Scicli, Modica and throughout the Ragusa area and have accompanied many Sicilians' seaside breakfasts. Easy to make, the Squisiti cookies are very crunchy and have a pleasant lemon aroma; making them at home according to the traditional recipe will give you great satisfaction and fill your home with nostalgic scents, taking you back to the cookies grandmothers made with lard and lots of love.
