Easter Cookies Recipe

Easter Cookies Ingredients:

3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
4 tsp orange flower water
2 tbsp milk
3/4 cup currants
4 cup all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt

GLAZE

1 egg white, lightly beaten
2 tbsp superfine sugar

Easter Cookies Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). Grease several baking sheets with
butter. In a large bowl, beat butter with sugar until creamy. Beat in
egg yolks, orange flower water and milk. Add currants. Sift flour and
salt into bowl; mix in to form a fairly stiff dough. Knead lightly
on a floured surface until smooth. Roll out to 1/8-inch thickness.
Using a round 2-1/2-inch-fluted cookie cutter, cut out circles from
dough; place on prepared baking sheets. Knead and roll out
trimmings; cut out more circles. Continue until dough is used up.
Bake cookies 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Brush cookies with beaten
egg white; sprinkle lightly with superfine sugar. Return to oven for
about 5 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Remove from baking
sheets to wire racks; cool. Store in an airtight container. Source:

"Cuisine is both an art and a science: it is an art when it strives to bring about the realization of the true and the beautiful, called le bon (the good) in the order of culinary ideas. As a science, it respects chemistry, physics and natural history. Its axioms are called aphorisms, its theorems recipes, and its philosophy gastronomy."
