Biscotti al BurroA Mother's Day special, Italian butter cookies, a sweet treat for all the lovely Moms. These cookies are light, crisp and buttery. Dip in chocolate then coat with sprinkles, coconut, or even nuts.
Italian Butter Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
2 1/4 cups flour
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate
1/4 cup heavy cream
In a mixer cream butter and sugar together, add egg. On low speed add flour, salt, cream of tartar and baking soda. Form small balls and flatten or use a cookie press to form cookies, place on an un greased baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Makes about 5 dozen small cookies. In a double boiler melt chocolate and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Dip half the cookie in the chocolate and then into the sprinkles. Arrange on a plate and refrigerate till chocolate hardens. Store in an air tight container.
These look like they're straight out of a bakery. I love the way you decorated them.
