VENETIAN CORNMEAL COOKIES (ZALETI)
Zaleti means yellow in the Venetian dialect and refers to the color of the cornmeal in these distinctive diamond-shaped cookies. They're made with little to no sugar, relying instead on the sweetness of dried currants.

Steps:
- Combine currants and almond liqueur in a small bowl. Let soak until fruit is plump, 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg and egg yolk, lemon zest, and vanilla. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut butter into dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form. Add plumped currants and wet ingredients, gently stirring until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Shape into a flat square, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate 45 minutes or up to overnight.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to an 8-inch square, about 1/2 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut dough horizontally into 1-inch strips. Working with one strip at a time, cut crosswise on the bias into 5 equal diamonds (you should make 6 cuts). Reroll scraps once and form additional cookies, if desired. Transfer cookies to two parchment-lined baking sheets, spaced about 1 inch apart. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
- Lightly beat reserved egg white. Brush tops of cookies with egg white and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake, rotating pans halfway through, until lightly golden around edges, about 22 minutes. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
VENETIAN BUTTER COOKIES
The dough for these cookies should be stiff, not crumbly like shortbread, making it easier to form into a tight S shape.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with Silpat baking mats or parchment paper. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter and sugar. Beat on medium until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla, lemon zest, and salt. Beat to combine. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, until fully combined. Reduce speed to low, and add flour, 1 cup at a time, beating until fully combined
- Roll a walnut-size piece of dough into a ball, then roll out into a rope about 3 inches long and 1/4 inch in diameter. Shape into a decorative S. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, placing cookies about 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheet. Bake until firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 3 quarter-sheet pans (or three 13-by-9-by-2-inch jelly roll pans) with cooking spray. Line each pan with parchment paper and coat the paper with cooking spray as well.
- Place the almond paste in the bowl of a stand mixer. Break it up into small pieces with a fork. Fit the mixer with the paddle attachment and add the butter and sugar to the bowl. Beat the mixture on high speed until light and fluffy, about 7 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium, add the egg yolks, and beat until incorporated. Turn the mixer off and stir in the flour with a wooden spoon until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl.
- Clean the mixer bowl thoroughly and fit the mixer with the whisk attachment. Beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the batter until thoroughly blended.
- Transfer 1 1/2 cups of the batter to a medium bowl, then transfer another 1 1/2 cups of the batter to a second medium bowl. Add the red food coloring to one of the bowls and stir until the batter is tinted throughout. Add the green food coloring to the second bowl and stir until the batter is tinted throughout. Scrape each of the three batters into one of the prepared pans, using the spatula to spread the batter to the edges. Bake, rotating and switching the positions of the pans halfway through, until the edges are golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool in the pans for about 5 minutes, then invert onto cooling racks and allow to cool completely.
- To assemble, place the green layer on a large cutting board or a large inverted baking sheet lined with wax paper. Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the top. Place the yellow layer on top and spread with the apricot preserves. If there are large chunks of apricots, remove and chop them up to make them more spreadable. Top with the red layer. Cover with plastic wrap and place a heavy cutting board on top to weight it down. Refrigerate overnight.
- Place the chocolate chips in a microwaveable bowl and melt in the microwave on low power about 2 minutes. Spread the chocolate on top of the cooled cake and let dry slightly. Trim the rim of the cake with a serrated knife to make clean edges. Cut the cake crosswise into twelve 1-inch-wide strips, then cut lengthwise into 1 1/4-inch strips. The cookies will keep, covered, up to 1 week.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13 X 9 inch baking pan and line the bottom with parchment/wax paper, leaving a 2 in ch overhang on the ends (easier to remove), butter the paper.
- 2. Beat egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. Add 1/4 cup sugar (a little at a time) beating at high speed until whites hold stiff, slightly glossy peaks. Set aside.
- 3. In another bowl, beat together almond paste and remaining 3/4 cup sugar until well blended, approximately 3 minutes. Add butter and beat until pale and fluffy, another 3 minutes. Add yokes and almond extract and beat until combined well (approx. 2 minutes). Reduce speed to low, then add flour and salt and mix until just combined. Fold egg whites into almond mixture to lighten the mixture.
- 4. Divide batter evenly among 3 bowls. Stir red food coloring in one bowl; green in the other; leaving one bowl uncolored. Pour one bowl/batter into creased baking pan and spread evenly with offset spatula (layer will be about 1/4 inch thick). Bake 8 to 10 minutes until the edges just pick up color - do not overbake. REPEAT WITH REMAINING bowl/batter - Transfer layers to a wire rack to cool.
- 5. When all layers are cool, invert green onto a parchment or wax-paper-lined large baking sheet. Discard paper from layer and spread with half of preserves. Invert white on top of green layer, discarding paper. Spread with remaining preserves. Invert red layer on top of white layer and discard wax or parchment paper.
- 6. Cover with plastic wrap and chill several hours (at least 4 hours). (Recipe calls for you to weight the top down with a heavy object but I stopped doing that and it comes out fine.) Remove weight and plastic wrap. Bring layers to room temperature. Melt chocolate in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Keep chocolate over water.
- 7. Trim edges of cake and pour/spread chocolate over the top in a thin layer. Chill, uncovered, until chocolate is firm. OPTIONAL - you can flip the cake over and coat the underside with chocolate as well. Chill again.
- 8. When all is chilled, cut lengthwise into strips, then crosswise. TIP: THE COLDER THESE ARE, THE EASIER TO CUT ... MAKE SURE THEY ARE WELL CHILLED / EVEN SLIGHTLY FROZEN!

Beat on medium speed with the paddle attachment until almond paste is broken up and combined with the sugar, about 4 minutes. Add softened butter and beat until mixture is light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes, stopping once to scrape sides of bowl. Add yolks and almond extract and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Scrape bowl. With mixer running on low, gradually add flour and salt and mix just until no streaks of flour remain.
- Stir about a third of egg whites into the almond mixture to lighten. Fold in remaining egg whites until no white streaks remain.
