Ingredients
Scale
- 250g butter (9 ounces)
- 1 cup of sugar
- 2 eggs
- zest of 1 orange
- juice of 1 orange
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tbsps mastic liqueur (optional)
- 650g soft flour, sifted (23 ounces)
- 3 tbps baking powder (flat, not heaped!) Alternatively use self raising flour and skip the baking powder.
Instructions
- To prepare these orange flavored Greek cookies, all you have to do is to add all the ingredients together into a large bowl and blend with your hands, until combined.
- Shape the cookies with your hands, giving them any shape you like and bake at 180C for 20-25 minutes, until nicely colored. Remember to use some parchment paper layered on the baking tray so that they don’t stick and leave some distance between the cookies, as they will rise a bit when baked.
