INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cups of sunflower oil
- 1 cup of sugar
- 3/4 cup of fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup of cognac (or 1 teaspoon of cognac flavoring)
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of fine-ground semolina
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- grated peel of 1 orange
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of grated cloves (or ground cloves)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 320F (160C) with a convection oven, or 350F (180C) with a conventional oven.
Dissolve the baking soda in the orange juice.
Put all the dry ingredients (flour, semolina, sugar, spices) in a bowl and mix until blended with a whisk.
In the middle, create a well and add the liquid ingredients (oil, cognac or flavoring, orange juice). Knead the dough until it sticks to your hands.
To shape the cookies take a fistful of dough and make it into a log. Press the dough gently with your fingers on one side to flatten slightly. The shape of the cookies can be rounded, oval or a small log
Place the cookies well spaced in a greased cookie sheet (or on parchment cooking paper, or on a non-stick cookie sheet), place on the middle rack in the oven and bake until browned (about 15-20 minutes}. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on baking racks.
