What can I say – Cantuccini with Almonds definitely belong on the list of my favorite cookies. These crunchy cookies packed with almonds and great flavors are super delicious! Not only along with a cappuccino in the morning – I can eat these cookies all day long and if you provide me with access to the cookies I WILL eat them all day long.

Cantuccini are typical Italian cookies – baked to be very crunchy in the shape of little bread slices. The classic ones are made with almonds but you can use other nuts and also dried fruits, but then you call the cookies rozzetti or just biscotti instead of cantuccini. Though biscotti is the term for most cookies in Italy. Confusing? A little bit.

Well… I actually don’t care about names as long as the cookies are delicious and crunchy. Something to dunk into coffee or maybe a sweet wine as many Italians do. It’s all about the flavors!

If you know anything about Italian cookies, you’ll know that this type of cookie here is baked twice. First, you shape the dough into long logs and bake them for a few minutes, then you let the whole thing cool down a bit, cut the rolls diagonally into (bread-like) slices, and then you bake the cookies a second time.

That’s why the cookies are called »biscotti« – the translation for that is »twice baked«. This makes the cookies quite dry, very crispy and they last almost an eternity if you store them properly. The perfect type of cookie if you want cookies all the time but are not willing to bake them fresh each week.

If you want to try some biscotti with chocolate and other nuts instead of the almond cantuccini, you can check these recipes here:

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • Deutsch

1. Add the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the eggs, butter, Amaretto, vanilla extract, and almond extract (optional) and knead until you get a smooth dough. Next, add the almonds and fold them in gently. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

2. Remove the dough from the fridge, divide it into three portions and roll each into a log with a diameter of about 4cm. Place on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment, cover, and place in the fridge again for about 15 minutes.

3. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Take the logs out of the fridge and bake them for about 13-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 12-15 minutes. In the meantime, lower the oven temperature of the oven to 160°C (320°F). Cut the pre-baked dough rolls with a sharp knife, each slightly beveled, into slices that are about 2cm thick. Place the slices on the baking sheet and bake for another 12-15 minutes. Remove the Cantuccini from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Store in a tightly closing tin.

1. Das Mehl mit dem braunen Zucker, Backpulver und Salz in einer großen Schüssel vermischen. Die Eier, weiche Butter, Amaretto, Vanille Extrakt und Bittermandel Aroma (optional) dazugeben und alles zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. Die Mandeln dazugeben und vorsichtig unterkneten. Den Teig in Klarsichtfolie einschlagen und für etwa 30 Minuten in den Kühlschrank legen.

2. Den Teig aus dem Kühlschrank holen und in drei Rollen mit einem Durchmesser von jeweils 4cm formen. Auf ein mit Backpapier ausgelegtes Backblech setzen, abdecken und für weitere 15 Minuten in den Kühlschrank legen.

3. Den Ofen auf 200°C (390°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Die Teigrollen aus dem Kühlschrank nehmen und für etwa 13-15 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen holen und auf dem Backblech für etwa 12-15 Minuten abkühlen lassen. In der Zwischenzeit die Temperatur des Ofens auf 160°C (320°F) herunterregulieren, dann die vorgebackenen Teigrollen jeweils leicht angeschrägt mit einem scharfen Messer in etwa 2cm dicke Scheiben schneiden. Die Scheiben auf dem Backblech verteilen und dann noch einmal für etwa 12-15 Minuten backen. Die Cantuccini aus dem Ofen holen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett abkühlen lassen. In einer gut schließbaren Dose aufbewahren.
