Ingredients
Dough
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
6 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Icing
3 cups confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Multi-colored nonpareils, optional
3 cookie sheets or jelly roll pans covered with parchment paper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set racks in upper and lower thirds.
- For the dough, combine the flour and baking powder, stirring well to mix. Whisk the eggs in a bowl, then whisk in all the remaining ingredients in order. Fold in the flour mixture.
- Turn dough out on a floured surface and knead lightly to mix. Separate into 16 equal pieces. Roll each to an 8-inch rope, then into a circle. Place 5 or 6 on each pan.
- Bake the taralli about 30 to 40 minutes, or until well puffed and deep golden. Cool on racks.
- For the icing, combine all ingredients in a saucepan and heat gently until lukewarm. Brush over the tops of the cooled cookies. Sprinkle with multi-colored nonpareils, if desired.
