Baci Di Dama
Ingredients:
4 Tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
1. Line 2 baking sheet pans with parchment paper, then spread
out hazelnuts, Roast them in the oven on 180°C for 10
minutes or until the hazelnuts are aromatic and lightly toasted
and the skins have started to crack. (Hazelnuts skins can taste
very bitter. To remove them, place the hazelnuts in a clean
tea towel and gently rub together.)
4. Using a small ice cream scoop, portion the dough into about
2 teaspoon chunks, then roll each one into a ball. You'll get
about 40 dough balls. Set Italian cookies onto the prepared
baking sheet about 1.5 inches apart. Slightly tap on top of
each hazelnut cookie ball to flatten.
5. Chill cookies in the fridge for 1 hour. About 45 minutes into it,
preheat the oven to 160°C with the baking rack in the
middle. Bake cookies for about 17 to 18 minutes, or until just
starting to brown on top. Remove from oven and cool
completely.
