Gather the Ingredients:

Before we begin, let’s make sure we have everything we need. Here are the ingredients required to make these delectable Bocconotti:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup almonds, finely chopped
  • Confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Prepare the Dough:

To start, let’s prepare the dough for our Bocconotti:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the softened butter and mix until the ingredients resemble coarse crumbs.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract together.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  5. Divide the dough into two equal parts and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling:

While the dough rests, let’s prepare the mouthwatering chocolate and almond filling of our Bocconotti:

  1. In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, melt the semisweet chocolate chips.
  2. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the finely chopped almonds until well combined.
  3. Let the filling cool to room temperature.

Assemble and Bake:

Now comes the fun part – assembling and baking the Bocconotti:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a Bocconotti mold or a mini muffin tin.
  2. Take one portion of the chilled dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  3. Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the rolled-out dough.
  4. Press each dough circle into the prepared mold, forming a small cup shape.
  5. Fill each dough cup with a teaspoon of the chocolate-almond filling.
  6. Take the remaining portion of the chilled dough and repeat the rolling, cutting, and filling process.
  7. Place the filled dough circles on top of the previous ones, pressing the edges gently to seal.
  8. Bake the Bocconotti in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Enjoy the Delights:

Once the Bocconotti are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Gently remove them from the molds and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Before serving, dust the Bocconotti with confectioners’ sugar for an added touch of sweetness.

Now, all that’s left to do is to sit back, indulge, and savor the delightful homemade Bocconotti! Enjoy them with a cup of coffee or tea, or share them with your loved ones for a truly unforgettable experience.
