In the last two weeks have been rather absent from the blogosphere. Behind the scenes, at home, many days were punctuated by moments of discontent, of disappointments, setbacks, obstacles, troubles, small health problems and a lot of fatigue.
When they get these times I find myself in the kitchen cooking than usual because it relaxes me and helps me see life more positively. These biscuits are the last in order of time, a long list of desserts prepared for the joy of my two men. They are perfect for breakfast and liked them very much Andrea!
These Last Two Weeks Have Been very quiet for blogging. Behind the scenes, at home, many days were not good, with cranky moments, disappointments, mishaps, concerns, annoying health problems and a lot tiredness.
When these times come I often cook, because it helps me to relax and see everyday life more positively. These biscuits are the latest in a long line of baked sweets made during these days, to the delight of my husband and son. They're great for breakfast and Andrea likes them a lot!
Per circa 35 biscotti avete bisogno di:
135 gr. burro morbido
120 gr. zucchero
400 gr. farina 00
2 uova
2 cucchiaini di scorza di limone grattugiata
2 cucchiaini di scorza d'arancia grattugiata
2 cucchiaini di lievio (circa 1/2 bustina)
3 cucchiai di gocce di cioccolato amaro
Scaldate il forno a 180 gradi e preparate due leccarde con un foglio di carta forno su ognuna.
In una ciotola mescolate con le fruste elettriche le uova, lo zucchero, il burro e le scorze degli agrumi. Unite la farina, il lievito ed il cioccolato impastando velocemente con le mani fino ad ottenere un impasto omogeneo. Modellate la pasta in tante sfere un po' più piccole di una pallina da ping pong . Posizionatele sulle leccarde distanziandole un po' le une dalle altre. Cuocetele per 10/15 minuti togliendole dal forno non appena incominciano a colorarsi.
