When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.) For a lighter crispier cookie, substitute 00 flour for the all-purpose flour. If making the cookies by hand instead of a stand mixer, you may need a little more water to bring the dough together. The shaped cartellate can sit uncovered at room temperature for up to overnight before frying. This will yield a crispier texture and a cookie that holds its shape better.
