Right now I really don't like eating, I suspect that someone, no names, has attached a bug on/in/to my organism. But like my mother always said when this happened to, at least I'm not gaining weight. And yes, I know I promised the Paper Chef Winner for yesterday but as you can see, there's a delay. I'm very about this and as soon as I get it all together I will post it!
Until then these cookies will have to suffice; I realized that Spring really must be approaching because now the butter is soft enough to be made into a cookie dough, I don't have a food processor you see and then butter can pose quite a problem during winter in this house, especially when you have to provide resident Italians with their sweet breakfast. Fortunately I can now vary the breakfast menu with the addition of cookies.
ORANGE AND PISTACHIO COOKIES
A lot
250 g/ 8.8 oz salted butter
200 ml/ 0.85 cup sugar
300 ml/ 1.25 cup wholemeal flour
300 ml/ 1.25 cup flour
2 oranges, zest and juice
4-5 tblsp pistachio
- Stir butter and sugar until it's a creamy.
- Add orange zest and juice and mix well, the juice will obviously not be absorbed much but it will later.
- Chop the pistachio nuts and add them as well.
- Add the two types of flower and work it quickly into a dough.
- Roll small balls of the dough, place them on baking sheets an then press them down with a fork.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven at 175°C/347°F for 10-12 minutes.
- Let them cool down before eating.

I have become the a bad blogger because I either forget or I don't have the time to answer your comments but that does not mean that I don't read or appreciate them, quite the opposite really. The generosity that shines through what you write and the fact that you take the time to comment on my posts makes my blogging worthwhile so Thank You for what you do for me and please keep on commenting!
