sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness and moisture.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cake flour

citrus zest

🥗Healthier: lemon extract

💰Cheaper: dried citrus peel

Lemon extract offers concentrated flavor without fresh fruit.

Preheat oven to 320°F (160°C).

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of sugar, mixing until creamy.

Add the zest of one and a half oranges and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.

If the dough is crumbly, be patient and continue mixing until it comes together nicely.

Use well-floured springerle molds to shape the cookies, or use a biscuit cutter for different shapes.

Place the shaped cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in a 320°F (160°C) oven for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
