Time 2h1m

Yield 96

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 eggs
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon almond flavoring
1 pinch salt
8 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 ¼ cups oil for frying, or as needed
3 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 drop green food coloring
red food coloring

Steps:

  • Beat eggs, water, and almond flavoring together in a large bowl. Add salt; gradually stir in flour to make a stiff dough.
  • Knead the dough until it can be rolled out very thinly. Split dough into fist-sized balls; roll out into thin strips using a pasta machine. Cut dough strips into triangles.
  • Divide sugar among 3 bowls. Add cinnamon to one bowl, green food coloring to the next, and red food coloring to the last. Stir to evenly distribute the additions.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Place the dough triangles into the hot oil. Fry, turning until golden brown on both sides, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle both sides with one of the sugar toppings.

These crostoli were a complete disaster. The dough was impossible to work with and the cookies turned out hard as rocks.

I didn't have any problems with the recipe, but the crostoli didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked.

These crostoli were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I've tried many crostoli recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The cookies were light and airy, with just the right amount of sweetness. They were also very easy to make.
