Ingredients 1lb (455g) unsalted butter, softened 1 cup (135g) confectioners sugar 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2 tablespoons orange blossom water 2 egg yolks 4 and 1/2 cups (625g) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt Extra Orange blossom water (about a quarter of a cup) for brushing on the cookies Confectioners sugar for garnish Instructions Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C. Line 3 baking trays with parchment paper. In the bowl of a tabletop mixer that has been fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and orange blossom water. Beat on low speed until combined and then increase the speed to high and beat for 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the egg yolks. Beat until incorporated. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl and whisk together. Slowly add the flour mixture to the mixer while it is beating on low speed. Beat until a dough comes together. Take a walnut-sized piece of dough and roll it into a ball. Place on the prepared baking tray. To make moon-shaped cookies, take a walnut-sized piece of dough and roll it into a rope. Place it on the baking tray and curve the edges to form a moon or a "c". Bake the cookies on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until slightly golden.

As soon as the cookies come out of the oven spray them with the orange blossom water or lightly brush them with it. Dust them with a liberal amount of confectioners sugar and allow them to cool completely. Transfer the cookies to airtight containers and store at room temperature up to 10 days. Notes Flavoring alternatives: If you're not a fan of orange blossom water then you probably will also not be fond of rosewater which is a good substitute. In that case, omit the orange blossom water form the recipe and add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. For almond flavored cookies: 1 teaspoon of vanilla (total) and 1 teaspoon of pure almond extract.
