Angeletti Cookies

Long time no posts! The Christmas season has been hectic as I work in online retail :-p

I made these cookies this week and got a marbled effect by halfway working in red and green dye to the dough (No pic, sorry). My family has made these for our annual Christmas party before. They are a traditional Italian cookie that puff up like little pillows. Very easy to do...and I've lightend up the recipe.

Ingredients:

-2 eggs

-3 Tbsp. light margin, melted

-1/2 cup sugar or substitute

-3/4 cup NSA applesauce

-1 tsp. vanilla extract

-3 cups Kamut flour, plus more for dusting

-1 Tbsp. baking powder

-1/2 tsp. salt

-food dye (optional)

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2) In large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, melted margin, sugar/sub, applesauce, and vanilla.

3) Mix in flour, baking powder, and salt. When mostly combined, transfer to floured surface. Knead dough for 3-5 minutes. Add food dye at this point if desired.

4) Roll into 50 balls. You may need to add flour as needed. The dough will be really sticky.

5) Bake in batches, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack.
