Sì, lo ammetto, sono stata assente per un bel po’ e senza giustificazioni.
Mi scuso con mamma, che mi segue da casa, e i tre amici che sanno che
tengo questo blog. Dopo questa breve introduzione, eccoci alle cose interessanti:
biscotti.
Ho trovato sul sito di Barbara, ossia My Italian Smorgasbord, una ricetta
ottima per rifare a casa i famosi Abbracci, però sapendo cosa ci si sta
mettendo dentro. Buoni e sani, come direbbe nonna.
Ma arriviamo al punto: qui di seguito la ricetta illustrata…godetevela!

I hava to admit I’ve been away for quite a long time, without any excuse.
Sorry mom, and sorry to the other few friends who are following me / who
know I am keeping this blog. After this short introduction, here we are to
the interesting things: biscuits.
I found on Barbara’s blog, aka My Italian Smorgasbord, a recipe for some
well-known biscuits of Italy: Abbracci (which means hugs). They are made of
half chocolate and half vanilla dough, and taste awesome for breakfast, with
milk or tea. here you are the recipe:
Abbracci cookies
vanilla dough:
250 g (2 and 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour
120 g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
95 g (3.4 oz) softened butter
1 egg, 3 table-spoon double cream
1 table-spoon honey
1 and 1/2 tea-spoon baking powder
few drops vanilla extract
a pinch of salt.
chocolate dough:
250 g (2 and 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour
120 (1/2 cup) caster sugar
100 g (3.5 oz) softened butter
1 egg, 30 g (1/4 cup) cocoa powder
40 g (3 table-spoon) milk
1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
few drops vanilla extract
a pinch of salt
For each of the two doughs separately, mix the ingredients together
and shape into small balls. Take a ball of each dough and shape into
long and thin cylinders. Cut about 7 cm (2.5 inches) long pieces from
each cylinder and put one over the other, forming a black and white closed
circle. Place the circles over a baking tray covered with baking paper.
Bake for 11-13 minutes at 180 degrees (Celsius, 356 Fahrenheit).
These cookies are good and healthy, just as grandma made them.
Thank you, Barbara!
