    My 3 year old Grandson and I made these cookies together and he picked up on the name and pronounced it perfectly reminding me what they were called. I could tell he had a knack for languages so we got on youtube and now we know how to count in 4 different languages. You never know how your shows touch people. Thank you both.

    Look at those little asteroids of love! 🥰 Simplicity. And freshness. The essence of Italian cuisine. Keep it simple. Italian cooking is by far the least strenuous of cuisine styles that the only possible way of messing up is to overdo it - don't! 🤣

    We have cookies similar to those here in Asturias, Spain. They're usually called "Carajitos del profesor" and the main diference is that the egg whites aren't turned into a meringue but mixed directly with the hazelnut and the sugar. They're quite awesome and it makes me want to try this recipe.

      @@rasmusn.e.m1064 it's a little more complex than that xD they started to b be done in a cafe called "Casa del Profesor" and one of the well known person of the town started to ask the waiters for one of this cookies as "Dame un carajo de esos", as in give me a little sh*t of those (in a funny way, not trying to be rude) so that's how they got the name.

      @@ConradRotho I'd translate that more as "give me one of those little fucks" but the message is clear.
      'Carajo' itself isn't an expletive but it's still an exaggerated expression, and so I don't think there's an appropriate translation to English that doesn't use cursing.

    Thank you RUclips for recommending this channel. Newly subscribed after watching a few of these and have to say love you two. Eva is an Italian who knows her mind and loves her food and heritage. I spent alot of the Covid shutdown ( and am continuing to do so ) studying the Italian language and also enjoying learning about Italian culture. Love trying these recipes and trying some of my own inventions from my own garden. Knowing how to get a good dough is really half the battle I am finding for any dish whether pizza, dessert, or pasta. Keep doing what you love, having fun and providing the great videos.

    My grandma from South Germany used to make a traditional type of cookies for Christmas that are almost 100% identical: sugar, egg whites, ground hazelnuts. I guess some things are so simple and basic that different cultures come up with it independently from each other.

      @moniabolletta8923 3 года назад +5

      all the nuts with which a flour can be made is suitable for creating brutti ma buoni, even mixed together (for example hazelnuts, walnuts and pistachio together); moreover, in the Marche we usually incorporate pieces of unground whole nuts, such as hazelnuts, almonds and pine nuts (or even unsalted peanuts; somewhere they also put cubes of candied fruit) into the dough between the first and second cooking: in this way they obtain a more crunchy consistency and an even more spectacular flavor

    Umm.... the cookies look like they would taste out of this world. I love meringue cookies and the hazelnuts, out of this world!
    Question? When I cook meringue, I normally use a double boiler. Do you think this recipe will work cooking it in a double boiler? It becomes very difficult to scorch the egg whites that way. I make a cake frosting using the double boiler and meringue and it transforms the egg whites into the sticky but stiffer mixture.
    Anyway, thank you for sharing this beautiful recipe. When I make it I will make it exactly as you have shown.
    Bon appetit!

    Here in Tuscany, they are the Traditional Prato city Cookies, we call Bruttiboni (just put the two words together 😅) usually here we use almond "flower". Traditionally they come with Cantuccini di Prato (almond cookies) and you should put them into the Vinsanto (sweet "holy" wine).

  • @wendeln92
    @wendeln92 3 года назад +1

    Used to make a layered cake using discs of dacquoise (French, sorry) which is very similar but the nut merinque is piped or spread on a sheet tray and baked instead of cooking on the stove.
    One of the things that could happen is since nuts are high in fat and fat is an enemy of meringue (make sure you don't get yolk in the whites!!!) I'm surprised the whites didn't deflate more than they did. Fascinating cookies. My favorite Italian cookie with a meringue-ish texture (though there is flour in them) are Osso di Morti (aka muscardini).

      The easiest way is to buy them already peeled
      Otherwise you can bake them for a bit in the oven then rub them between your hands

      Thanks! We sold already ground hazelnuts when I worked in a gourmet store. It was always a problem of how many ounces of ground nuts equaled a cup of whole nuts. Measurement was always questionable.and confusing…. Grinding nuts at home is not easy because they become butter in a flash. So conversion of hazelnuts has always been a mystery and left some doubt and a need for clearly written measurement.

    My favorite Italian cookie is a ball type crunchy cookie with anise flavor and covered in powdered sugar. Typically a Christmas cookie.
