Time 45m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb sweet butter (unsalted)
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
3 3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 lb confectioners' sugar (for topping)

Steps:

  • Soften butter to room temperature, then beat with electric mixer 10 minutes, or until white and creamy.
  • Continuing to beat constantly, add the 1/4 cup sugar, egg yolk, and orange juice, until mixture is thick like mayonnaise.
  • Sift flour and cornstarch into bowl and continue mixing until mixed well, then knead for 5 minutes.
  • Roll dough into a round log and cut diagonally into 1/2 inch slices, then shape with fingers into crescent shapes.
  • Place 1/2 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Stick a whole clove in the center of each cookie, and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 25 minutes.
  • Sprinkle 1 cup (of the 1 pound) sugar on a large sheet of waxed paper, then gently transfer the hot cookies (using a spatula) onto the waxed paper, as soon as they come out of the oven.
  • Place cookies side by side on the waxed paper, and once they are all on the paper, sift the remaining sugar over the cookies.
  • Cool 4 hours,then serve, or wait until the next day when they are even better.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I'll use a little less sugar in the dough.

These cookies were delicious! I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The walnuts added a nice crunch and the orange zest gave them a bright, citrusy flavor.

Not a fan of these cookies. They were too dry and crumbly for my taste.

Not bad, but not great either. The cookies were a bit bland and the texture was a bit too dry for my taste.

I made these cookies for my Greek grandmother and she said they were the best she'd ever had! She even asked me for the recipe.

These cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor. I won't be making them again.

These cookies were a hit at my Greek-themed party! They were easy to make and had a delicious, buttery flavor. I added a little extra cinnamon and nutmeg to the dough for a more festive taste.
