Anniversary Getaways Calgary Baci di dama

Baci di lady, originally uploaded by amiloquemegustaescocinar .

The lady di baci are an Italian specialty. Original town of Tortona in Piedmont, and more specifically the Pastry Zanotti, the di baci or kissing lady lady made more than a century with the same ingredients and the same form, that form which gives its name, like two mouths that are giving a kiss: *
can be made with almonds or hazelnuts. Personally I have chosen the nuts because I liked the idea of the hazelnut-flavored cookies but I guess it does not matter.
is necessarylocated a little patience, well, I've done 40-45 cookies because I have tiny, tiny but you can also do a little bit bigger and it saves a little time and energy:)
not saying I want to get annoying are the best cookies in the world, if you will not feel that all I do is great and I do nothing wrong ... but the truth is that they have gone delicious. I took them to the office and in the blink of an eye bye :) So glad!
If you prefer you can also test them in their original version, ie the cookie to natural, not containing cocoa. If you prefer to make and take away the bitter cocoa and replace it with more flour 30 gr. The rest is the same.
I hope you enjoy as much as me: D CH
