Yield 2 dz

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup milk
2 cups sesame seeds
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb unsalted butter, cut into pieces and softened
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 375°F; butter and flour two large baking sheets. Pour milk into a shallow bowl. Spread sesame seeds on a piece of wax paper. Set aside. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. On Low speed, beat in the butter a little at a time. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla, and orange zest. Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients until well blended. Pinch off a piece of dough the size of a golf ball and shape into a log 2 1/2 inches long and 3/4 inch thick. Dip the log in the milk, then roll it in the sesame seeds. Place on a prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly. Continue with the remaining dough, placing cookies about 1 inch apart. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until well browned. Let cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container.

Tips:

  • Chilling the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much and keeps them from becoming too crispy.
  • Toasting the sesame seeds: Toasting the sesame seeds before adding them to the dough enhances their flavor and adds a nutty aroma to the cookies.
  • Measuring the flour: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to weigh the flour instead of using a measuring cup.
  • Baking the cookies: Bake the cookies until they are golden brown on the edges but still soft in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Cooling the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. This helps them maintain their texture and flavor.

Conclusion:

Biscotti Regina, also known as sesame cookies, are a delightful Italian treat that combines a crispy exterior with a soft and chewy interior. These cookies have a unique flavor profile, thanks to the combination of sesame seeds, anise seeds, and a hint of citrus zest. While the recipe may seem intimidating at first, it is relatively easy to follow and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
