Note: This is a sweet type of cookie

INGREDIENTS

3 cups of all purpose sifted flour ( 360 grams)+ 1 cup reserved of the side (120 grams)

3 large eggs 🥚 (room temperature)

3/4 cup of sugar (150 grams)

1/2 cup unsalted butter 🧈 melted and cooled (115 grams)

1/4 teaspoon of salt 🧂

1 1/2 tablespoon of baking powder (25.5 grams)

1 1/2 teaspoon of orange extract (6.3 grams)

Zest of one grated orange

Icing:

Approximately 2 cups of powdered sugar (227 grams)

Approximately 4 tablespoons of milk 🥛 (59 grams)

Your choice of sprinkles for decoration

DIRECTIONZ:

1) In a large glass bowl, beat the eggs with a hand mixer until they are frothy.

2) Add the sugar into the eggs and beat with the hand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.

3) Add in the melted butter, orange extract and the zest of an orange 🍊 and give the mixture a quick mix.

4) Next, you add in the flour (in increments of 3), baking powder and salt and mix till all the ingredients are well combined.

5) Remove the dough from the bowl and place it on your work surface. Gently knead the dough into a ball (using more flour if needed).

NOTE: You DO NOT need to refrigerate the dough

6) Divide your dough into quarters and then divide the quarter pieces in half.

7) Cut a piece dough from the smaller divided quarter piece and roll out the dough into a “rope” of approx. 6” inches in length & shape it into a ring by pinching the ends together.

a) To form a TWISTED taralli, take 2 “ropes” and gently twirl them together and pinch both ends.

Or you can also flatten out a piece, roll over and join ends together , then simply separate the flaps to open slightly.

b) To form a BRAIDED taralli, take 3 “ropes” and pinch the top of the strips together and gently braid the “ropes” overlapping the “ropes” over each other, one at a time, and pinch the ends together.

8) Once you have finished assembling your tarallis, place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone liner, and into a preheated 350 degree F oven for 18-20 minutes.

9) Let the cookies cool for 10-15 minutes before removing them from the cookie sheet & place them on a wire rack placed on top of a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

10) Prepare the powdered sugar and dip the top of the tarallis into the icing and immediately top them with the sprinkles. It is your choice if you want to leave some tarallis simple, with no topped icing.
