TWD - Rousquilles

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is a Spanish cookie known as Rousquilles. These comprise a dough flavoured with orange flower water and aniseed, and cut into rings, then glazed.

I used licorice powder in place of aniseed, and my glaze didn’t work so I just dusted them with icing sugar.

I wasn’t sure about these when making them, but they actually taste pretty good. They are quite soft and break easily, but that certainly doesn’t affect the taste.

TWD - Torta Sbrisolona

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Torta Sbrisolona. I have never heard if it before and I am sure I can’t pronounce it correctly, but it is a delicious crumbly almond cookie, made like streusel.

I made a half batch, which cut neatly into 8 bars:

 I really enjoyed these cookies, more than any we have made for a while. Thanks to Dianne’s husband for choosing them.
