  1. We had issues with this. When we went to roll them up they cracked. The third batch we did we added another half cup of flour, used all butter and used 4 whole eggs. Got them to roll out just fine.

  2. Searching for different Christmas cookies this year and came across your channel! Yes, I am Italian and I do remember making these cookies quite a while ago using light olive oil but I’d like to try your recipe, however do you have any salt in this recipe since you’re using unsalted butter? I would think it would come out bland without something, no? Just checking before I go ahead. Thank you!👍🏼🎄

  3. All soooo authentic…except your pronunciation of biscotti. Ugh! Speaking as a Sicilian (I was conceived in Sicily, born in the U.S.), it's pronounced "bis-CŌ'-ti." And my grandmother's maiden name was Parisi.

  4. Hi Billy! My Nana made the S & O cookies, too! I tried your recipe, but my cookies flattened somewhat and didn’t keep their shape too well. Any ideas of what I did wrong? I was thinking that my butter might need to be colder. I softened it. Thanks!

  5. Instead of adding water, add vodka. It adds moisture, but the alcohol doesn’t interact with the protein to create gluten, which means your dough will be easier to shape, but are still tender.

  6. If you don't have a pastry knife, food processor, or mixer, you can use a box grater to grate the butter and then work it into the flour with your hands. That's how the French make biscuits
