Biscotti Reginelle, aka Biscotti Regina or Biscotti Inciminati, are classic cookies from Palermo (the capital of both the autonomous region of Sicily and the Metropolitan City of Palermo), but they are popular all over the island of Sicily. They were named after Queen Margherita di Savoia, hence the name Biscotti Reginelle, which means Queen Cookies.
These delicious Italian cookies are not too sweet and are loaded with sesame seeds. The crunchy texture makes them the perfect accompaniment to coffee, hot chocolate, or sweet wine. To make these cookies even more authentic, use 100% of lard instead of a mix of butter and lard. Once completely cooled you can store these cookies in an air tight container for at least two weeks. They freeze well too.

- In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, salt, and ammonium carbonate and mix until combined. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, mix in the butter and lard until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the beaten eggs, vanilla powder and orange zest and mix until the dough is formed. It will be crumbly. Using your hands, shape the dough into a ball. If it's too stiff, add a little of water. Wrap in a plastic wrap and let rest in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Remove the dough and allow it to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Spread the sesame seeds out onto a plate.
- Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a log about the thickness of your thumb. Cut each log into about 5cm / 2inch pieces.
- Brush each cookie with water and roll in sesame seeds. Bake for 20-22 minutes until lightly golden brown. Cool completely and enjoy!

They certainly look scrumptious! Wonderful weekend treat!
Oh, I have been wanting a recipe for this. Wow! These look so good! Thank you so much!
Si llevan manteca de cerdo quedan hojaldradas y aunque sé que no puedo abusar de ella, me comería unas cuantas encantada.
Hello Angie,
Your biscotti look delicious, thanks for the recipe.
Take care, have a great weekend.
They look gorgeous, too bad they are not savoury but sweeet. I made sunflower and buckwheat crackers today.
...they look mighty good to me!
I like cookies that aren't too sweet. I'm going to add these to my list of cookies to try making which is a project for this winter.
Yummy
Those look so darn good! They bring back memories from my childhood when a wonderful neighbor lady used to make those for us.
bellissimi perfetti e golosi!
Years ago, my mother and I made sesame seed cookies for Christmas, and they were fantastic! Now I’m wondering where we found that recipe, because for the sake of nostalgia I think I might like to make those again. These look delicious. I have been thinking about biscotti all week because I have started taking an afternoon coffee break, and a biscotti would go quite nicely with that cup of coffee.
Looks interesting!
Oh, I do love biscuits! Wish I felt up to baking.
These Biscotti Reginelle sound delightful! I love the combination of flavors and textures, especially with the toasted sesame seeds. They must pair perfectly with a nice cup of coffee or a sweet wine. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

These look really pretty and I'm sure they taste really good.
Gracias por la receta.
These biscotti and coffee sound good together.
All the best Jan
