Filled with fruit, nuts, chocolate and loads of flavor, these traditional Italian treats hit the spot. We enjoy them at Christmas with a hot beverage. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons butter, cubed |
1/3 cup milk |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons honey |
1 cup sliced almonds |
1/2 cup mixed candied fruit, finely chopped |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
2 tablespoons shortening |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, combine butter, milk, sugar and honey. Bring to a full boil. Remove from the heat; stir in almonds and fruit. Stir in flour until blended. Drop by tablespoonfuls 3 in. apart onto greased and floured baking sheets. Spread batter with a spoon to form 2-1/2-in. circles. Bake at 350° for 6-9 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on pans for 1 minute before carefully removing to waxed paper to cool completely. For coating, combine chocolate chips and shortening in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until melted. Spread 1 teaspoonful over the bottom of each cookie. When chocolate is almost set, draw wavy lines with a fork or cake decorating comb. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: about 2 dozen.
