ZALETI

These cookies, from the Venice area of Italy, are not too sweet and have a nice crumble. Delicious with an espresso or a glass of vin santo after a meal.

Steps:

  • In a mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the coconut oil (or butter) with the sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks until well combined, then beat in the milk, baking powder, salt, lemon zest, vanilla and grappa.
  • With a paddle attachment, stir in the cranberries and pine nuts. Then, a little at a time, add the cornmeal flour and cake flour, alternating each. The dough will be very dense.
  • Using a cookie dough scoop, drop cookies on a prepared cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper or silpats) about two inches apart. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes until just light golden around the edges. Do not overbake. Cool on wire racks.
  • You can dust with powdered sugar before serving. The zaleti will keep in an airtight container for up to a month.

8 tablespoon(s) coconut oil or softened butter
1/2 cup(s) sugar
3 - large egg yolks
4 tablespoon(s) milk
1 - lemon rind, grated (zest only)
1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoon(s) grappa (optional)
1 - handful dried cranberries or raisins
3 tablespoon(s) pine nuts
1 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1 cup(s) finely ground cornmeal
1 1/2 cup(s) cake flour
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt

  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine currants and rum. Microwave for 30 seconds on high, then allow the currants to soak in the rum for at least 30 minutes.
  • While the currants are soaking, prepare the batter in the bowl of standmixer. Start by creaming together the softened butter and sugar until well combined. Add the egg yolk and mix again to combine.
  • Sift together the flour, corn meal, salt and baking powder. Add the dry mixture to the butter mixture and mix well. (The mixture will be yellow and crumbly.)
  • Add the currants and rum to the yellow crumb mixture and mix again – completely combining so that the currants are evenly dispersed throughout and the batter is soft and won’t fall apart.
