Ingredients

Let’s see what we need to make this recipe

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup sugar (if you prefer sweeter, you can increase up to 1/3 cup)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 6 tbsp vegetable oil
  • as needed orange zest (grated or lemon if preferred)
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • as needed dried prunes (half a prune per cookie)

Tools

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Fork
  • 1 Teaspoon
  • 1 Knife

Steps

  • In a bowl, start mixing the sugar with the citrus zest of your choice.

    Then add the eggs, the pinch of salt, and the oil.

    Mix the ingredients well with a fork and then add the sifted baking powder and flour. 

    If it becomes difficult to mix with the fork, leave it and continue with your hands until you get a smooth and compact dough ball.

  • Take the dough and break off pieces thinking about the size you want for the cookie. 

    I usually keep the scale nearby and weigh each piece.

    This way, I’ll have more or less equal cookies.

    Once I’ve cut the piece of dough, I’ve slightly widened it and placed half a dried prune in the center.

    Then I closed the edges and rolled the ball between my hands.

    I placed the cookies on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

    Once the oven was heated, I baked at 338°F (170°C) fan-assisted, for about 15 minutes.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
