My Authentic Italian Cookies Recipe
A really simple and 100% authentic Italian cookies recipe that only takes around thirty minutes to prepare, this

Italy.
These "Venice cookies" offer a wonderful balance of flavors, with the citrusy tang of orange juice complementing the richness of butter and the subtle sweetness of sugar.
Whether enjoyed alongside a cup of coffee or shared with loved ones during special occasions, these Veneto-inspired cookies are sure to impress your friends and family.
Buon appetito!
List of Ingredients
3 eggs
1/2 cup of orange juice
1 cup of sugar

1 tsp. of vanilla extract
3 3/4 cups of flour
2 tbsp. of baking powder
Almonds chopped
Cooking Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs together with the orange juice, and
the sugar.
- Add in the butter and beat it all together well then add in
the salt, the flour and the baking powder, mix it all together with a

- Stir in the vanilla
extract and then the chopped almonds.
- Shape the dough into two
separate rectangles and place them on a well greased cookie sheet.
- Bake
in the oven at 350 degrees F until they begin to turn golden (it should take about 15
