ITALIAN EASTER COOKIES (BISCOTTI)



Italian Easter Cookies (Biscotti) image

This is my Italian grandmother's recipe from long ago. She use to make these cookies for every Easter celebration. I have since picked up where she left off and now make these cookies as part of our Easter tradition. I love the anise flavoring but if you don't like anise you can substitute with almond extract and they are just as good! This is my favorite cookie to dip in my coffee! Enjoy!

Time 2h15m

Yield 72

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 cups all-purpose flour
6 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening (such as butter-flavored Crisco®)
1 cup white sugar
4 whole eggs
2 teaspoons anise extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons anise extract
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
¼ cup sprinkles, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  • Cream together shortening and white sugar in a bowl until creamy. Add 1 egg at a time, mixing well after each. Add 2 teaspoons anise extract and vanilla extract. Slowly add milk and mix until all ingredients are blended. Slowly add flour mixture, and mix until thick but creamy. Place dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to overnight.

  • Coat a work surface and hands with flour. Take a quarter-sized piece of dough and roll into a long narrow sausage shape. Form into desired shapes, such as "s" shapes, twists, candy canes, letters, etc. Cookies will puff up when baked, so be sure each cookie is only about the width of a pinky finger. Place cookies on a baking sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart.

ITALIAN EASTER COOKIES



Italian Easter Cookies image

These lemony Italian cookies are traditional treats in the southern part of the country but are also often found at Italian-American bakeries around Easter time. While they have several different Italian names you will most likely see them labeled "lemon drops" in the States. They are light, not too sweet and have a tender, buttery crumb. Dipped in a thin lemony glaze and decorated with holiday-inspired sprinkles, they are the perfect festive addition to any table.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon fine salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1 ¾ cups confectioners' sugar
Juice of 1 lemon (about 4 tablespoons)
Pinch fine salt
1 to 2 tablespoons milk
Pastel colored sprinkles

Steps:

  • For the cookies: Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
  • Combine the butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition until totally combined, about 1 minute. Add the vanilla and zest and mix to combine, about 30 seconds. Turn the mixer off, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula then add all of the flour mixture. Mix on low speed until everything is well combined, scraping down the sides again if necessary, making sure not to overmix. Cover and refrigerate until the dough is completely chilled, at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly flour a clean work surface. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the dough and roll it into a rope, 5 to 6 inches long. Tie it into a loose knot and place on a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough. If the knots start to get warm, refrigerate until firm, about 10 minutes.
  • Bake on the upper and lower racks until the tops of the cookies are dry and set and the bottoms are golden, rotating the baking sheets front to back and switching rack positions, halfway through, about 15 minutes total.
  • For the glaze and sprinkles: Meanwhile, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, salt and 1 tablespoon of the milk in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon milk if needed-the glaze should be the consistency of heavy cream.
  • Place the sprinkles in a small bowl. Once the cookies are cool enough to handle, dip the tops in the glaze, letting any excess run off, then dip in the sprinkles. Transfer the cookies, glazed-side up, to a wire rack and let cool completely. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
