11 Rhode Island Ocean State Christmas Cookie Recipes for Tiny Treasures

Classic Rhode Island Christmas Biscotti

Classic Rhode Island Christmas biscotti are a delightful and crunchy Italian-inspired cookie that have become a cherished holiday treat in many Rhode Island homes. These twice-baked cookies are perfect for dipping in coffee or tea and are often flavored with almonds, chocolate, or festive spices. Their unique texture makes them a standout among Christmas cookies, and they’re perfect for sharing with family and friends.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well combined.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the vanilla and almond extracts. Mix these wet ingredients until they are fully combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough forms. It may be sticky, but make certain everything is well incorporated.
5. Add Sliced Almonds: Gently fold in the sliced almonds (and chocolate chips, if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Shape the Dough: Dust your hands with a little flour to prevent sticking. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long and 2-3 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
7. First Bake: Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are slightly golden and firm to the touch. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
8. Slice the Logs: Once the logs are cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick cookies.
9. Second Bake: Lay the sliced biscotti cut-side down back on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are crisp and lightly browned. Flip them halfway through to guarantee even baking.
10. Cool and Enjoy: Remove the biscotti from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, they are ready to be enjoyed with a warm beverage, or they can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Enjoy your classic Rhode Island Christmas biscotti!

This treat is perfect for holiday gatherings or as a sweet bite alongside your afternoon coffee. The buttery crust paired with a gooey maple filling makes these bars a true Rhode Island favorite.

Chocolate Dipped Rugelach

Chocolate Dipped Rugelach are a delightful twist on the traditional Jewish pastry. These flaky cookies feature a sweet filling of nuts, cinnamon, and chocolate, encased in a rich cream cheese dough. After baking, they are dipped in melted chocolate, adding an indulgent finish that makes them a perfect dessert to serve during the holiday season or any festive gathering.

Instructions:

1. Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, softened butter, and cream cheese. Using an electric mixer, mix on low speed until the ingredients are blended and form a smooth dough. Be careful not to overmix. Divide the dough into four equal pieces, shape each into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped walnuts. Set aside.
3. Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough is chilled, take one disk out of the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll it out into a circle about 1/8 inch thick. Spread about 1/4 of the filling mixture evenly over the dough.
4. Cut and Shape the Rugelach: Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough circle into 8 equal wedges, like slicing a pizza. Starting from the wide end, roll each wedge toward the point, forming a crescent shape. Place the rolled cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Repeat with Remaining Dough: Repeat the rolling, filling, and cutting process with the remaining three disks of dough.
6. Bake the Rugelach: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rugelach for 25-30 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Dip in Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate in increments of 30 seconds, stirring between each interval until smooth. Once the rugelach are completely cool, dip the ends in the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the dipped cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
8. Let the Chocolate Set: Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or place the cookies in the refrigerator to speed up the process. Once the chocolate is firm, enjoy your delicious Chocolate Dipped Rugelach!
