Baci di Dama
Orange and Almond Cookies

4 ounces (100 grams) candied orange peel
4 ounces (100 grams) ground almonds
4 ounces (100 grams) superfine sugar
4 ounces (100 grams) plain white or Italian type 00 flour
6 Tbsp (90 ml) milk
2 ounces (50 grams) dark chocolate


Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Line several baking trays with
parchment paper. Chop the orange peel very finely and put in a bowl. Add
the almonds and sugar and sift in the flour, reserving 1 Tbsp (15 ml). Mix
well together, then add enough milk to form a smooth, firm dough. Roll the
mixture into 24 small balls and place, well apart, on the baking trays.
Sprinkle with the remaining flour. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until
golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool. Melt the
chocolate and use a little to sandwich the cookies together in pairs.
