Italian Pretzel cookies
I'm not even sure if there is such a thing as an Italian Pretzel Cookie, in any case I decided to make up my own version. I took a Taralli Dolci dough and dipped it in chocolate. Fatto! Vi do... Josie's Italian Pretzel Cookies. Ingredients
- 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
- 6 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 4 oz bittersweet chocolate chips
- 8 oz semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoons shortening
Directions
- Line 3 cookie sheets or jelly roll pans with parchment paper.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set racks in upper and lower thirds.
- In a medium sized bowl whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl lightly whisk the eggs then add sugar and continue whisking until sugar appears to be well incorporated into the eggs.
- Finally add melted butter and vanilla and continue whisking.
- Place the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly making sure all the ingredients have been incorporated well.
- Separate into 1 oz pieces. Roll each piece into an 8-inch rope, then form each rope into a circle. Place cookies on each pan.
- Bake the taralli until puffed and golden, about 14 - 16 minutes. Cool on racks
- Melt chocolate chips and shortening using a double broiler or in the microwave.
- Then carefully dip pretzel bottoms in the melted chocolate
