Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup hazelnuts
1 cup walnuts
⅓ cup honey
1 egg white
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
1 pinch salt
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar for decoration
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg white, beaten
½ tablespoon orange liqueur

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275F. Grease baking sheet.

  • Place dough on work surface heavily dusted with sifted confectioners' sugar. Sift more powdered sugar over dough. Gently roll dough out to thickness of 3/8". Cut into 1x1 1/2 inch bars using knife that has been dusted with powdered sugar. Arrange on greased sheet, spacing 1inch apart.
  • Bake cookies at 275 F (135 degrees C) until firm and tops appear dry, about 25-30 minutes. Cool cookies completely on racks.
  • To Make Icing: Blend 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and 2 teaspoons egg white. Mix in enough liqueur to make thick but pourable icing.

I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese, so I substituted cottage cheese in this recipe. It turned out great! The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who is looking for a deli

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and oregano, and it was much better. I would recommend this recipe to anyone who likes a mild-flavored pasta dish.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I ended up using a jarred sauce to save time. It still turned out delicious, but I would recommend this recipe to anyone who has the time to make it from scratch.
