1/4 cup sugar
1/2-1 cup fresh orange juice

3 tbs brandy
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tbs baking powder

3 cups all purpose flour

Recipe



In a bowl dissolve the sugar in 1/2cup of orange juice, then mix with the orange zest,brandy and olive oil. Add the baking powder, lemon zest and flour little by little to form a soft dough, adding a little more orange juice if needed. Let it rest while you prepare the filling. In another bowl, mix the raisins with the almonds,walnuts,zests,cinnamon and cloves. Add the brandy and orange juice and mix well. Flatten the dough with your hands and roll it into 1/8inch thick sheet, stretching it with your hands. Cut 4inch circles and place a tbs of filling in the center of each. Fold the pastry over to cover the filling and press the edges with your fingers to seal. Oil a baking sheet and place the cookies on it. Bake into medium oven for about 20-25min. or until golden. Let cool on a rack and sprinkle with the confectioners sugar. Enjoy!!
