Submitted by: Diane
Living In: Long Island, New York, USA
After trying my hand at countless sesame cookie recipes, my Italian girlfriend shared her Aunt Anne's recipe and I knew my search had ended! Basically an anise flavored butter cookie covered in sesame seeds. The smell when removing them from the oven is wonderful!

You must have a pizzelle iron to make these wafer thin cookies. My pizzelle iron is the single cookie iron that you break into 4 triangles.

Pignoli Nut Pie

Submitted by: Holly
The creamy white pine nut lends its sweet rich flavor to a pie that is very much like a pecan pie. Lots of sugar -both brown and white - and eggs, butter, flour and cream are stirred together. Then the mixture is combined with the nuts, poured into a waiting crust, and baked until set and golden.
