Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • ashallen on December 10, 2019

    Fun cookies/mini-pastries. Cookie-like crust filled with ground almonds flavored with cocoa powder, marsala, orange zest. Not very sweet - if you like bittersweet choc, you'll like these. First time making/eating them - wasn't sure they came out right, but co-worker said they're just like his grandmother's except bigger and orange vs. almond flavored! Would've rated 4 stars but for some issues with recipe as written. Recipe specifies mini-brioche/standard muffin tin - I made a couple mini-brioche but they're too big to eat comfortably! I used mini tart tins (1.5 inch bottom) instead. Tried with/without lids - preferred filling/crust balance without, though filling dried more and lost some marsala flavor. Pressed crust into tins vs. rolling - easier, dough oozed sticky sugar syrup after 18 hour chill. Recipe's a bit vague on proper filling texture - held back 1-2 tbsp wine but could've used all. Recipe says 1c almonds=6.5 oz - mine was 5.25 oz. Either's fine - easily tweaked to taste!
