Italian Cantucci Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups all−purpose flour
- 1−1/2 cups caster sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 egg yolks
- 8 oz. chopped almonds (unblanched)
- 2 more egg yolks
- Keep a little milk around to use in the glaze.
- Preheat the oven to 450 F.
- Mix the flour, the sugar, the baking powder, the salt, the whole eggs and the yolk all together.
- When the dough is smooth, knead the almonds into it.
- Divide the dough into 8 parts and make each into a cigar−shape.
- Flour a baking sheet and place the logs on it, giving them each some room, and slide into preheated oven.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until they're a nice gold color.
- While the logs are still warm, cut them into 1 inch thick slices and then cook them for another five minutes.
- Let them get cool before serving. (Hint: You don't have to eat them all at once. Cantucci stay good for a pretty long time if you keep them in a nice, airtight container.)
