Canestrelli is a popular Italian cookie that has a crumbly and buttery texture, and a delicate flavor that is lightly scented with vanilla. These cookies are often served during special occasions, such as weddings and holidays, but they are also an excellent treat for everyday snacking. The good news is that canestrelli is also an easy cookie recipe that can be made in your own kitchen.

Ingredients:
– 300 grams of flour
– 200 grams of powdered sugar
– 175 grams of butter, softened
– 2 egg yolks
– 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon of baking powder
– A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sifted powdered sugar. Mix until the mixture is creamy and fluffy.
2. Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl and stir until everything is well combined.
3. In another mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until the dough comes together.
4. Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to several hours to chill and firm up.
5. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and knead it lightly with your hands until it becomes smooth and pliable again.
7. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to about ½ inch thickness. Use a canestrelli cookie cutter or a round cutter to cut out the cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
9. Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve the canestrelli cookies with a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top.

Tips for making canestrelli:

– Make sure that all the ingredients are at room temperature before mixing them together. This will help everything to combine more easily and accurately.
– Do not over-mix the dough, as it can make the cookies tough and less crumbly.
– Chill the dough before rolling it out to make it easier to work with and prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
– You can store the baked canestrelli cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

In conclusion, making canestrelli cookies is a simple yet delicious recipe that you can try at home. With its buttery and crumbly texture, and its subtle vanilla flavor, these cookies are perfect for any occasion or snacking time. So, get your apron on and start baking!
