Zubereitung von Orange Cookies Koulourakia
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Spread 1 cup of walnuts in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet and toast for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally for even toasting. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
- In a food processor, combine the zest of 1 large orange and 1 large lemon with 1 cup granulated sugar. Process for several minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides, until the zest is finely chopped and well incorporated into the sugar.
- Add the toasted walnuts and 1/2 cup canola oil to the food processor. Process until the walnuts are pureed into the sugar mixture. Transfer to a small bowl.
- In the same food processor, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter for 1 minute until light and fluffy.
- Add the sugar-zest-walnut mixture, 1 large egg, 1 large egg yolk, and 2 tablespoons orange juice (or brandy) to the food processor. Process until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, pulsing quickly after each addition. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Divide the dough into two balls, wrap each in wax paper, and refrigerate for at least 90 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line two baking sheets.
- Take one ball of dough, cut it in half, and return one half to the refrigerator.
- Pinch off a walnut-sized piece of dough and roll it into a 4-6 inch rope. Shape into rings, horseshoes, or an 'S' shape.
- Place the cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. If the dough becomes too warm to handle, return it to the refrigerator.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the tops are golden.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once fully cooled, dust with powdered sugar.
