Biscotti Occhio di Bue – Ox Eye Cookies Class
On-Demand Class: Video Replay + Detailed Recipe
Learn how to make occhi di bue (“ox eyes” in English)—classic Italian cookies every kid knows and loves.
These cookies used to scare me when I was little—just because of the name. It sounded so dramatic to me. But once I tasted them, I understood that it was just a treat not a trick.
Similar to a small tart, we’ll start making the pasta frolla, the Italian shortcrust pastry. For this recipe, we’ll use a version with more butter than sugar, which gives us a more friable, melt-in-your-mouth texture rather than a crunchy bite.
We’ll roll the dough, cut out big circles and smaller ones—just like we did as kids playing with cookie cutters—and then, after baking, we’ll sandwich them together with your favorite jam.
A little powdered sugar on top, and just like that, we’ve made one of Italy’s most beloved tea-time treats.
They’re simple, nostalgic, and beautiful—perfect for gifting.
