Categories     dessert

Time 2h35m

Yield 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons olive oil
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
3 large eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup confectioners' sugar, or more as needed

Steps:

  • With a mixer, combine the granulated sugar, butter, olive oil and lemon zest . Add the eggs, one at a time, and continue to beat for 1 minute.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt, and mix into the lemon mixture until a soft dough forms. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Divide the dough into thirds. Cut each third in half, then repeat. (You should have 12 small pieces of dough.)
  • On a surface lightly dusted with flour, roll each piece out into a 1/2-inch-thick log, then cut each into 3 pieces. Coil each piece into a small bun shape, bringing the end up over the top and pinching to seal. (Don't worry if they look funny; the glaze will cover any screw-ups.) Repeat with all the pieces, then arrange on the prepared cookie sheets at least 3 inches apart.
  • Bake in batches, rotating the pans halfway through, 18 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • Place the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl and break up any large clumps with a whisk. Add the juice of 1/2 a lemon and whisk until a smooth glaze forms (if the glaze is too thick, add a bit more lemon juice; if it is too thin, add a bit more sugar).
  • Dip the tops of each cookie into the glaze and allow the excess to drip back into the bowl. Place on a wire rack to dry, then store in an airtight container. Cookies will keep for 5 days at room temperature, or 3 weeks frozen.

ANGINETTI, ITALIAN LEMON KNOT COOKIES



Anginetti, Italian Lemon Knot Cookies image

A traditional Italian cookie served at holidays and special occasions.

Provided by Marie

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cups of all purpose, unbleached flour
5 teaspoons of baking powder
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
one and one half cups of melted butter that has cooled down, not hot. Or you can use a vegetable shortening of your choice
1 cup of milk
a pinch of salt
zest of 1 lemon for cookie and zest of 1 lemon for icing
1 1oz. bottle of lemon extract
sprinkles of your choice

Steps:

  • If you prefer, dough can be made the day before which makes it nice and chilled to work with, or you can start scooping them right after you make the dough but probably you will have to chill it for a while as you're making the cookies and the dough stays out. I sometimes stick it in the freezer for a few minutes to get it to firm up again.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until fluffy, add eggs one at a time, then the extract and zest.
  • In a smaller bowl whisk the flour, salt and baking powder, then slowly add to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk, you might not have to use all the milk.
  • When everything is incorporated, let the dough rest for 5 minutes or wrap and chill overnight.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. and place cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • To form the knots I like to use a cookie scoop so all will be similar in size, then take the scoop of dough and roll it into a log about 5 or 6 inches, it's the length of a bench scraper, that's how I measure mine.
  • Then take one side of the log and spiral it into a circle, you can tuck the other end down or up, it doesn't matter.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes according to your oven, mine took exactly 12 minutes, you want the underneath to be golden brown, not dark brown.
  • Cool on racks.
  • LIMONCELLO ICING
  • One and one half cups of powdered sugar
  • Five tablespoons of limoncello Liqueur
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • TRADITIONAL LEMON ICING
  • One and one half cups of powdered sugar
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • One half teaspoon of lemon extract
  • and lemon juice to get the right consistency.
  • I always taste my icing to make sure it has the right amount of lemon, you can always add more, and I also like to brush my icing on instead of dipping., personal preference.
  • After frosting immediately put your sprinkles on and then let the whole cookie dry for about an hour.
  • You can keep them in tins with wax paper in between, or you can freeze them in an airtight container right after they bake and cool down, then frost them a day or two ahead before you'll be eating them.

Anginettes or Orange Juice Cookies image

Small, light delicious, easy to make cookie. You can make two ways, either with anisette extract or lemon extract, depends upon your preference. Note: this is a dry type cookies, but delicious

Provided by tacflynn

Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Yield 30-40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup Crisco
2 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon extract (your preference) or 1 teaspoon anise extract (your preference)
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon butter
4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon lemon extract (your preference) or 1 teaspoon anise extract (your preference)
candy sprinkles, for shaking over cookies

Steps:

  • Cream crisco and sugar until well blended, add eggs, mix well, then the extract & orange juice,blend in, then add the baking powder and baking soda, mixing well, finally adding the flour mixing well. Bake at 450 degrees. Preheat oven prior to baking. Bake for 5-6 minutes. Can leave in a minute longer for a very slightly browned cookie. Do Not Overbake, or they will be no good, as this is not a moist type of cookie.
  • Drop by teaspoonful fairly closely set, as they do not really expand out. Depending upon "your teaspoonful size" you will get several dozen of these. Or you can roll pscs. into small logs and then spiral.
  • Glaze:.
  • Melt the butter in medium pan, adding all the other ingredients, whisking until sugar melts and it is heated through. Consistency should not be too loose nor too thick, should coat cookie evenly without a great deal of dripping. You can add additional small amounts of confectioners sugar if necessary to thicken a bit more.
  • Apply glaze with spoon or dipping into the pan, and immediately sprinkle with the colored sprinkles. Let Dry.
  • Note: I have on many occasions added an extra teaspoon of extract and a tad bit more of orange juice to both the cookie mix and the glaze for extra flavor. Hope you enjoy this little bit of Italian flavor!

ITALIAN ANISETTE COOKIES



Italian Anisette Cookies image

Anisette cookies are another one of those traditional Italian cookie recipes. This cookie gets it's flavoring from the anisette liquor.

Provided by Phil Franco

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 42 cookies, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons anisette
1 tablespoon corn oil
1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 2/3 cups flour
icing
1 cup confectioners' sugar
4 teaspoons milk
4 teaspoons light corn syrup

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Add sugar, salt, baking powder, anisette; beat until smooth.
  • In a small bowl, beat together oil and room temperature butter until well combined. Stir into batter.
  • Gradually add flour, beating only for a short time after flour has been added. Use more or less flour to make a soft cookie batter dough. (Using less flour will make for a lighter cookie). Dough should be soft, but stiff enough to form a smooth shape.
  • Cover; refrigerate dough for several hours.
  • Using a cookie scoop or two teaspoons, shape the dough into small balls; press bottom of cookies lightly onto lightly greased cookie sheets, while keeping the rounded tops.
  • Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 15 minutes. The cookies should be crisp but do not brown - they should be very light in color.
  • Using a spatula, transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.
  • To ice the cookies: In a clean mixing bowl, combine 1 cup confectioners' sugar with 4 teaspoons milk and 4 teaspoons Karo syrup. Stir until the icing is of a spreadable consistency, adding more milk if required. A few drops of anisette may be added for flavor; a drop or two of food coloring can be stirred in for a pastel-colored icing, if desired.
  • Dip cookie tops into icing, then optionally sprinkle with colored cookie decorations.
  • Makes approximately 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
