Ingredients:
3 eggs |
1 cup oil or butter |
1 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 teaspoon salt |
3 1/2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 cup chopped natural almonds |
additional options: lemon or orange zest, cocoa, other kinds of nuts, almond extract, cinnamon sugar for dusting |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In an electric mixer beat eggs well and then add and beat well the oil, sugar and vanilla. Sift together salt, flour and baking powder, add to egg mixture and beat until just incorporated. Add nuts and any other additions at this time, fold in but don?t over-mix. The dough will be sticky, refrigerate for a few hours or longer, if needed. Coat hands with flour and then divide dough into thirds and shape each into long rolls 3 inches wide on a cookie sheet. They can be left straight or shaped into half moons. Bake for 30 minutes or until a little golden.
2. Remove from the oven, slice into 1/2-inch slices with a serrated knife and return to cookie sheet. Either lay them flat on the cookie sheet or stand them on their ends. They may be sprinkled with cinnamon sugar at this point. Return to the oven and turn off the heat. Leave them in oven until oven cools or overnight. The longer one leaves them in the oven the harder they will become.
