Every year, my husband and I bake tozzetti for Christmas. It wouldn’t be Christmas without the aroma of chocolate and cinnamon wafting from the oven. We normally follow the recipe my mother in law gave us when we left. It is a traditional recipe from Civitavecchia; one of those Italian recipes passed down for generations and that were originally meant for very large families. This year, I used the basic recipe and substituted some of the ingredients to create a tricolor effect resembling the color of the Italian flag, also known as Tricolore.
Ingredients (using one egg and everything else in proportion)
1 egg
120g sugar
50g cranberries
50g pistachios
100g butter
200g flour
100g white chocolate drops
Let the butter soft at room temperature and then mix together all the ingredients, working the dough with your hands. Make two logs and carefully flatten them on the cookie tray previously greased with butter. Bake at 350F for 20/25 minutes (depending on your oven.) Let them cool before cutting the logs or they’ll crumble. Merry Christmas!
Looks yummy! TY for the recipe. Hope you and your family have had a lovely Christmas. It’s snowing here now. So pretty with my farm covered in snow. My kittens don’t know what to think of it. They sit and watch it, blowing sideways, in amazement. Chat with you soon. Love you, Monica.
Hi, Becky! Thanks and the same to you. Love the image you’re painting with your kittens and the snow, so cute 🙂
