Almorange

Without further ado 

I would like to introduce you to

"Almorange"

{ al-more-onje }

 

The word reminds me of a secret admirer. A secret note signed "Almorange" might pique your interest, no? Well it did mine. And so, I read on to find out how nutty and zesty this one sweet cookie is. You should to.


Almondy dough with a hint of orange zest and underlying vanilla with a finishing sweet crunch make these the most welcome guest on a chilly winter night. Twice-baked, these cookies are delicious nestled up against an afternoon tea. But they also startle at breakfast and delight with after dinner drinks. {Yum. I'll take one at each.}

A fresh batch of these and Nani's Anise biscotti went postal today. I was told this particular package --- which included a couple gorgeous gold boxes from the super sparkler, Chez Terez --- will arrive by Wednesday, just in time for Turkey Day. Woohoo! This made me smile because there's nothing better than sharing homemade goodies with friends and family. If they aren't gobbled up too quickly, the biscotti I shipped today should last through the holidays. And that's even though they're made without preservatives. Just good old fashioned sugar, butter, flour, eggs... and a few secret admirers ... er... ingredients ; )
