Mostaccioli

Mostaccioli

Mostaccioli are clove and cocoa cookies. They are dense cookies with an undertone of spice which makes them very unique and special. This is a classic Italian cookie that is baked for the holidays.

These cookies have a texture that is somewhere between a cookie and a brownie. They are slightly soft and very rich. The dark chocolate glaze intensifies the flavor of the cookies and provides a pretty sheen. If you are a fan of chocolate you will like these cookies!

Mostaccioli are very different and delicious cookies. This recipe is  an old family recipe from a friend and coworker Thom, and it has has found a permanent place in my holiday cookie assortment!

Serves: 3 dozen cookies Prep Time: 1 hour Cooking Time: 8-10 minutes

Ingredients

  • COOKIES:
  • ½ cup dark chocolate cocoa powder (Droust)
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • GLAZE:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup dark cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • OPTIONAL:
  • Sugars and sprinkles for decorating.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place baking rack in the center of the oven. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Place the cocoa , flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and cloves in a large bowl.

Combine the canola oil and the water in a small bowl. 

Pour into the dry ingredients. Add the egg and vanilla.

Mix with an electric mixer until combined well.

Scoop a level tablespoon of the cookie dough and roll it into a 1 inch ball. Place on the lined cookie sheets, 2 inches apart.

Bake for 8-10  minutes until the cookie is  just firm to the touch and starting to crack on top. You will not be able to see the browning as it is a dark cookie.

Remove to a wire rack and cool.

 

GLAZE:

Place the powdered sugar and cocoa in a medium size bowl.

Place the butter and water in a small cup and microwave for 1 minute until the butter melts.

Stir the butter and water into the dry ingredients. Stir in the vanilla.

Spread the glaze over the tops of the cookies. If you are planning on sprinkling sugar on the cookies, do it just after you spread the glaze on each cookie as it starts to harden fast.

This was one of my all time favorite cookies. My mother always made them but unfortunately I couldn’t find the recipe—- until now. These came out great!! Just like mama used to make ! One question..do they freeze well and if so what is thaw time?

Hi Carol! I am so glad you liked them. They are a recipe share from a good friend. He shares his aunt’s cookie recipes with me and their recipes for ricotta pie! I froze them for two months and they were fine. I froze them single layer on a cookie sheet and once frozen I transferred them to a freezer bag. I defrosted them single layer on a wire rack and that took under 30 minutes.
