Category: Recipes

Highlights:

  • 🕒 Time: 30 minutes

  • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Servings: Serves 8

  • 🎯 Level: Intermediate

Ingredients:

  • 250g margarine or soft butter

  • 1/4 egg yolk

  • 2 cups of oil (about 320 ml)

  • 1 ½ cups of sugar

  • 2 packets of baking powder (8g each – about 2 teaspoons)

  • Lemon flavoring

  • 200g raisins or dried grapes

  • 50g candied orange peel

  • 1 tbsp custard powder (or crème pâtissière powder)

  • Pinch of salt

  • For decoration: egg white, peanut or almond flakes

  • Nappage glaze for finishing

Preparation:

1. Prepare the base:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the soft butter with the sugar, lemon flavoring, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the oil, blending continuously, then add the quarter egg yolk and mix well.

2. Add dry ingredients:

Fold in the raisins and candied orange peel. Gradually add flour mixed with baking powder and the custard powder. Mix until you get a soft, pliable dough.

3. Shape the cookies:

Form small balls from the dough, dip them in egg white, then roll them in peanut or almond flakes, depending on your preference.

4. Bake:

Place the balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) until lightly golden on both sides.

5. Final touch:

Brush the cookies with nappage glaze after baking, then return them to the oven for just 2 more minutes to set the shine.

Chef’s Tip 💡:

For an extra touch of flavor, soak the raisins in orange juice or orange blossom water before adding them to the dough!
