Cantuccine cookies

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Ingredients. I have a mixture of nuts: almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift flour with baking powder and cinnamon

3. STEP 3

   

   Add nuts (you don’t have to chop them, I added whole almonds and hazelnuts, and broke the walnuts into slices, so to speak)

4. STEP 4

   

   In a separate container, beat eggs with sugar

5. STEP 5

   

   And vanilla sugar

6. STEP 6

   

   Add the beaten eggs into the flour mixture and knead the dough, the dough should be soft and quite a bit sticky, but not liquid or stiff, so it’s better not to add all the flour at once, but set aside a couple of tablespoons and add them at the very end if necessary

7. STEP 7

   

   From the dough we form a sausage, either one large and plump one (like mine) or 2 thin ones (then the cookies will turn out neat and small for just a few bites)

8. STEP 8

   

   Bake the sausage in an oven preheated to 180-200 C for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top; when pressing on top, the sausage should be firm. Remove the sausage from the oven and let cool slightly (10 minutes)

9. STEP 9

   

   Cut the cooled sausage into slices 1-1.5 cm thick using a very sharp knife, preferably with cloves.

10. STEP 10

    

    We place our cookies on a baking sheet and send them to dry in the oven at 150C for about 10-15 minutes (make sure that the cookies do not brown too much). Let the finished cookies cool and serve. In Italy, these cookies are most often served with sweet wine, but they are also very tasty with tea or coffee, and especially with milk! Bon appetit!

Irisha, these cookies are so delicious that if, for some unknown reason, they sit in the cupboard, they become even tastier. And if anything... then dipping into aromatic tea, you get great pleasure, and no cloudy sky will interfere with your life

Irisha, Anait, cantuccino, just like cappuccino, consonant and delicious, there is such cosmetics as “Germaine de cappuccino”, but it’s not edible, we’ll cook cantuccino and eat it with cupuccino, I’ll cook it and send it to the children in St. Petersburg - they won’t go to waste, but this can’t be bought anywhere, only our girls can come up with and find such recipes, well done!

Thank you everyone for your attention, the crackers are very tasty, but also very hard, as for me, they definitely need to be dipped in something, although my husband was already gnawing on them)))

Cantuccini is very tasty “drowned” and gelled in coffee or vanilla-cream blancmange. Naturally, after this, teeth no longer break on them.

Magnago, a very interesting idea, if I understood correctly, then put croutons on the bottom, and pour blancmange on top and cool??
