If you love nuts, especially walnuts, this is the cookie for you!!
We usually make these cookies in the winter when walnuts were very avaliable, especially during the holidays. They are an all time favorite in most Italian families.
Biscotti di Noci
1/2 cup shortening (Crisco)
1 large egg Separated
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup unbleached all purpose flour, Sifted.
1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped
Cream the shortening with the sugar, add egg yolk, vanilla, and the flour a little at a time, mixing well.
Using your hands roll dough into balls the size of a walnut, dip into Stiffly beaten egg white then roll in the chopped walnuts.
Place the cookies on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake in a moderate oven, 375 degrees for about 10 to 12 mins.
When down place on a wire rack to cool completely .
This cookie offers so much flavor especially when the cookies are cooking and the smell of roasting walnuts fills the air. They are a delight to eat with a crunchy outer layer and a soft flavor filled interior.
Enjoy Bella
