Home Made Cookies - - Biscotti Casalinghi

By , About.com Guide

Home Made Cookies, or Biscotti Casalinghi: This is a recipe Rita's sister (a school teacher) has the kids who stay on after school make. Strangely enough for an Italian recipe, it relies on volumes rather than weights.

Prep Time: 40 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 1/3 cups (400 g) flour
  • 1 cup (250 ml) white wine
  • 1 cup (250 ml) sunflower seed oil
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) sugar
  • A pinch of salt

Preparation:

Combine the ingredients into a smooth dough, roll it out into thin snakes, and make rings about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Dip one side of each ring into a bowl of sugar, then arrange them on a lightly greased and floured baking tin. Bake them in a preheated 400 F (200 C) oven for 20-25 minutes, let them cool, and they're done.

Rita says that they're also a favorite at her parish church.
