Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 cups cake or all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup finely chopped black walnuts
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons orange flower water
  • 1 teaspoon Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 stick of butter ((1/4 pound), cut into small pieces)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting, (about 1 cup)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F. Mix all the ingredients except the powdered sugar in a large bowl. Mix with your clean hands, mashing the dry ingredients with the butter until you get a mixture that looks like lumpy meal.
  • Form the dough into little balls the size of a walnut and place on an ungreased sheet pan. Bake for 35 minutes. Take the cookies out and let them cool for 5 minutes or so. After they are cool enough to handle but still warm, roll them in the powdered sugar and set aside on a rack to cool. Then, when they are totally cool, roll them in powdered sugar one more time.
