Ricciarelli From Siena!
Warm your Christmas with traditional sweets from Siena called Ricciarelli. Snuggle up to the fire with a hot cup of cocoa and enjoy the delicate old world cookies from Tuscany. From our kitchen to yours, hope you bake up a storm! From our kitchen at Cooking Vacations, www.Cooking-Vacations.com
Ricciarelli Cookies
200 gr of peeled almonds
20 gr of bitter almonds
200 gr of sugar
1 tsp of orange essence
1 egg white
Flour (as much as is needed)
The tip of a teaspoon of baking powder
50 gr of powdered sugar
Grind the almonds well, add the orange essence, the
baking powder, the sugar and then finally add the egg white and as much flour
as you need to obtain a soft dough, consistent but not too tough. Sprinkle the
powdered sugar on a table and form a log with the dough, then cut it into small
pieces (about 30 grams each), roll it in your hands as if it were a meatball
that you then elongate pressing it forward. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment
paper and place the balls spread apart on the sheet. With the rest of the powdered
sugar, dust the cookies well: if you have enough time, cover with a clean cloth
and leave to rest overnight. Bake them in a 180 degree Celsius oven for 6-7
minutes if you like them soft, otherwise bake them for 10-12 minutes.
