It's time to make Christmas cookies. Being in a new house I only hoped I had brought everything I would need. Yes, I had the cookie gun and baking sheets. The recipes I had carefully packed. I hunted them out and chose my favorites: Fiori di Sicilia (a type of butter cookie requiring an extract called Fiori di Sicilia). I had always ordered the extract from a catalog. I had not brought the extract with me. Hoping they would have some in stock at the local Sur la Tab- I was lucky they did have it. Baking is underway at last.
Fiori di Sicilia- Spritz Cookies-
1 cup unsalted butter- room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon Fiori di Sicilia flavoring
1 large egg yolk
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Zest of one whole orange, very finely grated
Sprinkling sugar
Mix together. Press onto sheets and bake at 375 degrees. Wait 4 or 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
