I remember my mother only buying powdered sugar in 1 lb box because the bagged powdered sugar contained cornstarch and that prevented the bone cookies from being hollow. I will have to try this recipe. Can't wait... Thank you
brava Signora! my mother was from trapani, Sicily and i enjoyed these cookies growing up. I just learned to make them twenty years ago and your recipe is close to mine but uses only 4 teaspoons baking powder instead 5 tablespoons- please check yours. also, i think you meant parchment paper to bake on in the oven and not wax paper. grazi
Grazie! My grandparents is from Aliminusa and Montemaggiore in Sicily! And yeah, my recipe says 5 tablespoons, but we're just using a larger spoon so it might not be exactly that...and you can use either parchment paper or wax, they both do the same job! Thanks!
Wonderful taste but mine spread out so much that there is nothing in the shell. I attempted to lower the temperature and bake time, but same result. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Hi, the shells on these cookies are meant to be hollow! I’ve grown up with them this way, but I’m sure there are other recipes that result with them more full. Let me know if you come across any!

I lost my mother's recipe so I'm so thrilled to get it back. Thank you so much! My family have been requested it for a long time.
I’ve been looking for my moms recipe. Could not find it, but this is the way I remember it!!! Thank you so much for posting this! Much appreciated!
Hello, just curious if I’m hearing correctly it’s 2 pounds for the powdered sugar ?
I was taught to squish one side down with a seashell. It makes it look pretty cool.
That's a neat idea, I'll have to experiment with that!

uh, no..... you put wax paper in the oven and watch the smoke alarm go off!
