Mostaccioli image

There's a chance that this was the original Christmas cookie, as the recipe is said to have originated over 300 years B.C. A first-century text lists the ingredients as rye flour, cumin, cheese, anise and eggs. In the 2000-plus years since, it has evolved into a chocolate nut cookie rich with warm winter spices.

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 1/2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup olive oil
Zest of 1 orange
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 cup walnuts
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, olive oil and orange zest.
  • Put the flour, sugar, walnuts, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until the walnuts are in medium-sized pieces. Add the egg mixture and chocolate chips, and continue to pulse until a thick dough forms.
  • Roll pieces of the cookie dough into golf ball-sized pieces, and arrange on the prepared baking sheets at least 3 inches apart. Bake, rotating halfway through, 15 to 17 minutes.
  • Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, 20 minutes. Store in an airtight tin for up to 1 week, or freeze for 2 months. Dough can also be prepared and frozen up to 3 months ahead of time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover grilled chicken from the night before and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I had to add some extra milk to the sauce to tone it down.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. I added some chopped spinach and carrots to the sauce and they didn't even notice.
