Semolina butter cookies

24 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1.00 cup semolina #1; (coarse grind)
½ cup cake flour
½ cup all-purpose flour
1.00 cup clarified butter
⅔ cup confectioners' sugar
1.00 teaspoon chopped orange zest
1 whole blanched almonds

Directions

Sift the semolina, cake, and all-purpose flours into a small bowl and set aside. Beat the butter in a medium bowl at medium speed until white, light and fluffy. The more you beat, the lighter the cookie.

Gradually sprinkle in the sugar and zest. Continue to beat for 2 minutes. Remove from the mixer and gradually fold in the flours. The dough will be quite soft; refrigerate for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Shape dough into diamond-shaped cakes about 1-inch wide and ½-inch thick. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet about ½-inch apart. Place an almond on the top of each cookie and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. They will be very fragile, so allow them to cool for 1 hour on the tray. This recipe yields 2 dozen cookies.
