Yield 15-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brandy
4 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest, minced
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup honey, dark
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then grease & flour several baking sheets.
  • FOR THE SHORTBREAD ~ In a medium bowl whisk or sift flour, baking powder & baking soda together.
  • In a large bowl combine oil, sugar, brandy, OJ & zest.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to liquid ingredients, combining well after each addition.
  • Shape dough into ovals about 3 inches long, & place them well apart on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake about 20 minutes, then remove from oven & allow to cool on the baking sheets.

  • FOR THE SYRUP ~ If you are not going to freeze the shortbread, in a saucepan, mix syrup ingredients together & bring to a boil.
  • Boil rapidly for 5 minutes to thicken, then allow to cool.
  • Dip cooled shortbread into the syrup & sprinkle with nuts & cinnamon, allowing to set slightly before serving.
