Italian Wedding Cookies Ii Recipes

ITALIAN WEDDING COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 325"F.
• In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter and 3/4 c of the powder sugar until fluffy.
• Add the vanilla extract and little by little the ground walnuts and hazelnuts. Mix until combined.
• Start adding in the flour little by little until mixed in.
• Prepare your largest cookie sheet and using a small spoon (or small ice-cream scoop) form the cookies into balls, the size of a golfball or smaller. You should have about 45 cookies.
• Arrange all the cookies on the baking sheet without touching each other.
• Bake the cookies in the preheated 325"F oven for 20 minutes.
• Remove the wedding cookies from the oven and allow them to cool off just for a few minutes before rolling them over the reserved powder sugar. It's best that they are still a little warm so the sugar coating sticks nicely.
• Arrange the cookies on a platter and dust with more powder sugar on top before serving.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.

Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually stir into the cheese mixture. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the remaining butter and confectioners' sugar. Beat in vanilla and milk gradually until a spreadable consistency is reached. Frost cooled cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a large bowl break up the almond paste. Add the softened butter, sugar, eggs and almond extract. Beat batter until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the flour and the salt. Split the batter into thirds and add enough of the three different food colorings to each third to color the batter nicely.
• Spread the batters into three 9 x 13 and 1/4-inch deep aluminum baking pans. Be sure the batter is only about 1/8-inch thick or it will rise to high.
• Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12 minutes.
• Cool. Remove baked and cooled cakes from pans and place on a cookie sheet or cutting board.
• Heat the jam and spread between the layers as you stack them.
• Spread the melted chocolate over the top layer and refrigerate. When stiff remove cookies from the refrigerator and let chocolate soften slightly before cutting into small rectangles.
