What Are Italian Sesame Cookies?

Italian sesame cookies, also known as Regina cookies, are traditional Italian bakery cookies coated in sesame seeds. They are lightly sweet, crisp on the outside, and perfect with coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or espresso.

You may also know these Sicilian-style cookies as Biscotti Regina, reginelle, or simply Italian seed cookies. The sesame coating gives them their familiar toasted, nutty flavor.

Lightly Sweet, with a Crisp Sesame Coating

These cookies are not overly sweet. The flavor is simple and balanced, with a crisp sesame seed coating and a tender bite inside from being baked fresh.

Vanilla, lemon, and orange extracts complement the sesame flavor. Enjoy them straight from the package, or give one a quick dip in espresso, cappuccino, or tea. For an easy dessert, serve a plate alongside fresh fruit and coffee.
