Semolina Butter Cookies


Title: Semolina Butter Cookies
Categories: Essnce10
Yield: 24 servings

1 c Semolina #1; (coarse grind)
1/2 c Cake flour
1/2 c All-purpose flour
1 c Clarified butter
2/3 c Confectioners' sugar
1 ts Chopped orange zest
1 Whole blanched almonds

Sift the semolina, cake, and all-purpose flours into a small bowl and set
aside. Beat the butter in a medium bowl at medium speed until white, light
and fluffy. The more you beat, the lighter the cookie. Gradually sprinkle
in the sugar and zest. Continue to beat for 2 minutes. Remove from the
mixer and gradually fold in the flours. The dough will be quite soft;
refrigerate for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Shape dough into
diamond-shaped cakes about 1-inch wide and 1/2-inch thick. Place on an
ungreased cookie sheet about 1/2-inch apart. Place an almond on the top of
each cookie and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. They will be very fragile, so
allow them to cool for 1 hour on the tray. This recipe yields 2 dozen
cookies.
