Add a photoA very traditional recipe from my wifes Italian grandmother.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tsp. almond extract
- 3 1/2 cups sifted flour
- 3 tsp. baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups chopped or whole almonds
- Extra flour for kneading dough
Directions
- Cream sugar and butter
- Add eggs one at a time, beating after each one until fully incorporated
- Add vanilla and almond extracts
- Sift together flour and baking powder, gradually add to creamed mixture
- Fold in almonds
- Put dough on floured pastry board, knead about 10-15 minutes working extra flour into the dough as needed so it's not sticky.
- Cut dough into 8 equal parts, and with your hands roll each section on the floured board forming a long roll about 12 inches long and one inch thick
- Put the 8 rolls onto 2 greased cookie sheets at least 1 inch apart and bake 20 minutes @350, until lightly brown. Remove from oven, slice rolls diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces. Lay cut side down, and bake for 10 minutes @325, until light brown and dry.
