Lazy afternoons and cantuccinis (Cantuccini alle mandorle)

Sundays are very boring days , I think in all over the world Bad shows on television, shops closed and few people hanging out on the streets.

That's why I take Sundays to organize things in our home and sometimes (often) do something tasty  for afternoon's coffee, while watching a movie or just relax out there .. Or if you're  in Argentina offer  with  a mate

This week I thought I'd bake cantuccinis or biscotti are  well known cookies in Italy.
You can bake it in several flavors  even with bits of chocolate or candied orange. But I opted for the traditional almonds.

The good of them is that you can dip them in coffee, in a liqueur or a dessert wine, or  only eat watching movies, like we did. Hope you enjoy and have a great weekend

Ingredients 250g  all purpose flour 100g butter 100g cane sugar 1 large egg 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon of amaretto liqueur or any liqueur for flavoring  150g raw almonds

Modo de fazer : Mix flour, sugar, beaten egg, butter, baking powder and Amaretto in your stand mixer planet for a few minutes  Transfer the dough on the working surface and add the almonds, coarsely chopped - Mix well Divide the dough into three parts shaping 3 rolls, place on baking tray (covered with parchment paper) and flatten each with the palm of your hands. Bake at 180° for about 15 to 20 minutes.When almost cooked, pull out the pan and cut  each roll into medium slices. Bake 4 or 5 minutes more.
