This is a beloved traditional family recipe from my husband’s side of family. I wanted to “clean up” the recipe so to speak, and began experimenting with ways to make it a little healthier. I didn’t want to use Crisco and instead found that Coconut Oil works beautifully. Since the entire orange is used, including zest, it’s important your oranges are untreated with fungicide/pesticide, so buy organic! Lastly if you can’t find Fior di Sicilia, it’s ok to combine a good quality vanilla extract and orange oil to create it. The result is outstanding! A natural, fresh, REAL orange cookie!
Enjoy!
