OSSI DI MARTI (BONES OF THE DEAD COOKIES)



Ossi Di Marti (Bones of the Dead Cookies) image

These cookies are brittle and dry like old bones. They are made all over Italy around November 1 and 2 to celebrate All Souls' Day, in remembrance of deceased relatives. Don't let their name turn you off. They are unusual to look at, delicious to eat, and a real conversation piece. Serve with wine or your favorite ice cream. They are also a great accent to a good cup of coffee. These cookies have to rest OVERNIGHT before baking. I did not include this in the prep time, I did account for 10 minutes of baking per dozen.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: This will help the cookies hold their shape better in the oven.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the cookie dough, resulting in a lighter, more tender cookie.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking: This will help the cookies set their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely: This will help prevent the cookies from breaking.

Conclusion:

Brittle bone cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these cookies that will be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give brittle bone cookies a try.
