Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºc). Sift the flour and add it to a mixing bowl of an electric mixer. Add the butter and mix until the mixture resembles course crumbs. Add sugar, the eggs, and the vanilla. Mix until a soft dough forms. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to ½ - inch (1-cm) thick. Cut out the cookies with shaped cutters, transfer onto a buttered or lined baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden. Cool on wire racks and dust with confectioners? (icing) sugar. Makes 4-5 dozen cookies, depending on the cookie size.
2) Biscotti di Prato:

Add eggs and mix until well incorporated. Add the almonds. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into long logs that are about 2-inches wide. Place on a lined or greased baking sheet and bake for about 20-30 minutes, until browned and risen. Take out of the oven and cool until it can be handled, then slice into thick pieces.Place back on the baking sheet and bake another 10-15 minutes until golden. Let cool on a rack. Makes about 3 dozen.
