Crunchy, nutty, and acceptably sweet, those Italian twice-baked cookies are really delicious and make a great coffee dunker. They can be adapted to include any of your favourite nuts, fruit or spices. I like the combination of 'red cranberries and green pistachios', that makes those an ideal Christmas treat. Serve them for the dessert or afternoon snack.



  • 190 g All purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 tsp Star anise powder
  • 4 Egg whites
  • Pinch of salt
  • 100 g Sugar
  • 50 g Dried cranberries, roughly chopped
  • 100 g Pistachio, roughly chopped


  1. Whisk together the flour, cinnamon powder and star anise powder. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 150C/300F. Line a loaf pan, 10x33-cm / 4x13-inch with baking paper.
  2. Beat the egg white and pinch of salt until foamy. Gradually add in sugar and beat until stiff. Add in the flour mixture and fold to combine. Add in chopped chopped dried cranberries and pistachios.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the cookie loaf from the pan and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Adjust the oven temperature to 75C/170F.
  4. Cut the cookie loaf diagonally into 3/4-inch thick slices. Place back on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for another 80 minutes, or until dry. Remove from oven and cool on wire racks.
