help I printed recipe for Tuscan Almond Cookies on 10/19/2011 went to make them this afternoon when I mixed the recipe and it is so dry something must be missing it doesn't hold together and now I can't find it in Cooking .com where I printed it from the paper says the source is "The Italian Gourmet " does any one have this recipe ? Thanks amf1234
Post the recipe and instructions, it's possible that you may have a recipe for biscotti, which is very different from an American cookie, formed and baked differently, too...It's also possible that you may have mixed up your websites, but we'll see what we can do to help!

Yep! These are biscotti. Quite different from my recipe.

OK, just calm your hysterics, you'll be OK. What part of the recipe doesn't seem to be working for you? Try reading the recipe and telling us about it in certain stages, because your post is a little bit crazy trying to read, OK? It has different ingredients added at different times which make no sense.....we CAN help you with this..........
I tried to write in collums but the site just squashed it all to gether Ingredients 82/3 cups A-P flour,8eggs beaten 5 cups superfine sugar 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 salt 8 oz. almonds finely chopped ......Directions preheat to 300''......heap the flour in a mound on a pastery board .Make a well in the center and add the eggs ,sugar,baking soda and the salt. ......Knead .............add the nuts and knead again to mix thoroughly......Roll the dough into lengths of1 1/2''x2'' flaten slightly ( at this point there is no dough there is a verry dry bowl of flour &sugar that you can press inbetween your hands into a shape which I did ) put on buttered and floured baking sheet ( I used parchment paper instead)bake7''-8'' or untill golden remove from oven( at this point the dough had fallen apart in the oven) cut into 3/8'' slices .....Return to oven & bake 7''-10'' more till brown ........Thanks amf1234
KarenB's recipe is still posted, but if it is not working for you, it could be your oven or maybe the ingredients. I would try another biscotti recipe and see what happens.

When you copy and paste and the print gets mangled just highlight it and change the font to a smaller number and it will fit. I sometimes copy to Microsoft word, adjust and repost. Hope this helps.
Thanks KarenB do you have any idea what is the problem with the cookie dough?
