Hi in Sicily (Italy) they have a certain cookie called Dole di Mandorla. Do
you have that receipe. Also for any nice lemon or chocolate cookie receipe.
Thanks
francesca
Hello Francesca,
We usually think of Italian almond cookies as being called "amaretti".
"Amaretto" does indeed mean "almond flavored", but "mandorla" is another
Italian word for "almond". "Dolce di Mandorla" would be "almond sweets".
I could not find a recipe with that exact name, but I did find recipes for
Sicilian Almond cookies. See below.
Phaed
Biscottini alla Mandorla
Serving Size: 24
1 cup butter at room temp
1 cup white sugar
1 whole egg, for batter
1 whole egg, beaten, for a wash
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon Frangelica liquor
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
2 1/2 cups flour (I used unbleached all purpose)
24 whole blanched almonds, toasted
Cream butter with sugar; add the egg, almond extract, vanilla, the liquor
and blend well. Sift the flour with the baking powder and soda and add in
one-cup amounts and beat after each addition and finally beat to a velvety
dough. Place a large walnut size piece on a non-stick cookie sheet and
flatten with palm of your hand. Paint each with the beaten egg. Press a
toasted almond into the center of each and bake at 300 degrees for 20
minutes then turn the ovens up to 350 and at the same time set the timer for
7 minutes. When timer goes off remove and place on cooling rack. Cool
completely and place in storage container.

Adriana's Sicilian Almond Cookies
Coffee-Flavored Almond Cookie Squares:
500 grams (1 pound 2 ounces) Almonds
500 grams (1 pound 2 ounces; this is slightly more than 2 cups) Sugar
5 egg whites beaten until stiff
5 teaspoons of ground espresso coffee
Powdered sugar (the kind that doesn't include starch)
Peel and crush the almonds. Mix sugar with 3 tablespoons of water, crushed
almonds, ground coffee, and egg whites.
Grease a rectangular pan and cover with fine bread crumbs. Pour mixture into
pan and bake at 300 degrees for about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let
cool. Cut in small square pieces, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.

Sicilian Almond Cookies
Preparation - Medium
About 30 cookies
2 1/4 cups (10 oz) blanched almonds
2/3 cup sugar
grated zest of 1 lemon
2 egg whites
Salt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
30 whole an blanched almonds, pine nuts, or candied cherries
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a large baking sheet.
Working in batches, combine the blanched nuts with some of the sugar in a
food processor. Process until finely ground. Transfer to a large bowl, add
the rest of the sugar and the lemon zest, and combine well.
Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt and the almond and vanilla extracts
until stiff but not dry. Add the egg white mixture to the almond mixture and
stir lightly, not to flatten the egg whites. Pinch off enough dough to form
a 1-inch (2.5-cm) ball. Flatten the balls very slightly, and place them 1
inch (2.5 cm) apart on the baking sheet. Insert a whole almond or pine nut,
pointed end up, or a candied cherry in the center of each cookie.
Bake until the cookies are lightly browned and have small cracks on the
surface, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool briefly on the pan, then transfer to
wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container
VARIATION. For flatter cookies, add 4 egg white. Spoon onto baking sheets
about 1 1/2 inches (3 cm) apart. Bake at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C.)
until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

Hi Michelle,
I could not find the Wyatt's recipe. However, I did find one from Luby's
Cafeteria. Maybe it's similar.

Dessert Pie
Amount Measurement Ingredient Preparation
Method
2 1/2 cups milk divided
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Tablespoon butter or margarine
7 Tablespoons cornstarch
6 Tablespoons water
3 egg yolks, extra-large
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 pie shell, 9-inch baked
whipped cream, sweetened for topping
chocolate curls or shavings for garnish
Combine 2 cups milk, sugar, cocoa, and
butter in a medium-size saucepan. Bring
just to a boil over medium heat. In a medium-
size bowl, completely dissolve cornstarch in
water. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup milk. Whisk
in egg yolks and vanilla until well-blended.
Gradually add egg yolk mixture to mixture in
saucepan, stirring constantly with wire
whisk. Cook, stirring constantly, about 2
min., or until mixture is thickened and
smooth. Add marshmallows and stir until they
melt and mixture is smooth. Pour into pie
shell. Press plastic wrap directly onto
filling. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Remove plastic wrap. Top with whipped cream
and garnish with chocolate curls.
Note: Pressing plastic wrap directly onto
hot pie filling prevents a tough, dry "skin"
from forming as pie cools. Use a potato
peeler to make decorative chocolate curls or
shavings from a chocolate candy bar.
