Like so many, this is a family tradition, but we call them Turdidis...I'm guessing the name was changed since my family left Italy and we "Americanized" Italian family members have not said it correctly. My family recipe is slightly different, but they look exactly the same. We roll them over the backside of a folk. Oh so good!

Hi there... I was just in the kitchen making these with my Nonna's receipe (Very similiar and my husband was watching the network and Michael was making these. It was so awesome as this is a very old family receipe. I immediately called my sisters and mom to share and say that I could not believe they were making these on TV. So thank you Michael for bringing us this past time receipe so that we can continue the traditions and make new ones.

As a side note... I boil the honey with sugar so that it kinda carmalizes and really sticks "lightly" to the Turdilli. I dunk them in the pot, then take them out into a foil wrapped container. I found that straight honey was to thick. Try it. And we use Muscatel wine. Turning upside down now and then really coats them, etc.

God Bless you Michael!!! Angel and Chris Capalbo

These were always a favorite, however my Mom did not make them and Dad and I depended on generous neighbors to get a sampling at Christmastime. Needless to say all the ladies who made these when I was a kid have gone to the great bakery in Heaven. I tried a recipe I found in St Anthony's Church cookbook, not enough detail and a flop.

After an internet search I found this wonderful recipe with great instructions, the other I found was, unfortunately for me, in Italian.

I cannot wait to surprise Uncle and brother and sister on Christmas eve!!

Thanks this recipe.

I have never had Turdilli before, so there is no nostalgia for me. I didn't care for, my kids and husband had a couple but.... I ended up throwing away. Bummer because they took a lot of time to make compared to other cookies.

My Nonna already had the dough made when we arrived to help roll, shape, fry, and honey. So we didn't have the recipe. Now GOD Bless you Michael Chiarello. I have my dough in the fridge, waiting for the fun to begin. the only thing Nonna did different is: she used chianti and boiled the fried turdilli in the honey. Your way seems alot easier, thank you, thank you thank you.

I made these cookies last year, and they were a huge favorite, its nice to see unusual cookies along side the stacks of sugar cookies and the other usual.

Stunningly simple and addictive! Mine turned out crunchy on the outside with a warming winter after taste. These remind me of the Iranian desserts I have grown up with....love them~

I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would ever see this cookie on a national TV show. Thank you, Michael.
