Tiliccas | Traditional Cookie From Sardinia, Italy | TasteAtlas

Tiliccas

(Tiliccas di sapa, Caschettas)

Tiliccas di sapa are traditional Sardinian cookies consisting of a thin cookie shell and a filling made with sapa (saba), which is a sweet, syrup-like grape must. The cookies have a curved, spiral, or horseshoe-like shape and are often additionally decorated with sprinkles.


They are made with a thinly rolled dough that is wrapped around a thick mixture of semolina, ground almonds, grape must, and orange zest. The rolls are then shaped and baked. The variations may include honey, a splash of liquor, raisins, or a spoonful of cocoa.


The origin of these classic Sardinian cookies is mainly associated with northern Sardinia. They were mostly prepared during fall and winter, especially during festivities and special occasions.
