Venetian Cookies S-Shaped Cookies

Tuesday, August 26, 2025
Italian S Cookies (also known as Delicious Venetian Cookie Bussola Buranello Cookies) are a traditional cookie that's popular on the island of Burano in Venice, Italy, and widely recognized.

This is a very old recipe and simply perfect for serving with any hot beverage, and easily recognized by its "S" shape and traditionally sold unfrosted; however can be frosted after baking.

Many times, you will see these simple lemon cookies in small Italian bakery shops along the water, and they serve alongside espresso.

This traditional yet classic Italian cookie recipe has been passed down for generations, often baked during Easter and Christmas, making them perfect for family gatherings, holiday cookie trays.

Although these are never frosted in Burano, we lightly frosted them for the holiday for a more festive look.
