This recipes looks fantastic. I can’t wait to try it. I think it would also be wonderful using black walnuts.
I love making cookies and with the holidays and the election behind us we can concentrate on Valentine’s Day. This recipe for Love Knots or Nodi d’Amore was handed down to me by my Italian Grandmothers and Mother. It is included in my cookbook, Carmela’s Cucina which is available on line at http://www.carmiescucina.com I hope you all enjoy it as much as my family and clients do around this romanic holiday.
Love Knots
(Nodi d’ Amore)
Cookies
1 cup butter
1 and 1/4 cup sugar
6 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
4 cups flour
Frosting
1 pound powdered sugar
1/2 stick butter
1-2 teaspoons milk
1 teaspoon lemon extract
Cream butter and sugar until light. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla. Blend dry ingredients together and add slowly to the mix, and continue to stir until a soft dough forms.
Drop cookies on a baking sheet a teaspoon at a time, making sure the top remains round. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Cool.
Meanwhile, mix the frosting ingredients until they form a coating consistency. Dip each love knot by hand into the frosting and spread evenly over the cookie. Place cookies on wax paper to dry. Makes 6 dozen.
Buon appetito,
Carmela Tursi Hobbins
