Fiori di Sicilia Cookies

Posted in Food and..., tagged , , , , on June 8, 2024| Leave a Comment »

I have discovered a new cookie recipe, and liked it enough to want to share the recipe. I don’t usually like soft puffy cookies, but I really like these.

Here is the original recipe with detailed instructions over at Serious Eats: Fiori di Sicilia Cookies Recipe.

My version, slightly different and in metric.

Recipe Notes: 

  • Doubles well.
  • Fiori di Sicilia: this brand has the best flavor I’ve found so far but in Canada it may be easier to find this version.
  • Lemon oil: I like this brand but whichever you choose, look for an oil without added water or alcohol.
  • I also broke down and bought a big pack of pre-cut parchment paper sheets. These were pricer than the industrial sized-rolls from Costco (there are also cheaper pre-cut options), but the increase in my parchment-related happiness was very much worth it.

Reviews: 

  • “Omg these are the best!!” (Mr Man)
  • “You have crafted a cookie that managed to defeat COVID!“ (friend on the mend, happily!)

Sadly, I do not have a picture of the cookies. We ate them.

Summer Snapshot

Tonight’s dinner:

pasta with citrus shrimp and French sorrel, Swiss chard, lemon thyme, basil, garlic chives and cherry tomatoes from the garden.

This is about the extent of our bounty so far. It may have been 94F today but it’s still Canada, the growing season starts late and ends early. Still fun!

The astute observer may also have noticed a bright splash of color in the background. That’s my favorite new summer beverage, Ace Hill’s grapefruit Radler. So, so much nommity goodness!

/yeah, I’m buying it by the case
