Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time; beat in orange flower water, orange peel, and vanilla. Add flour and stir until well blended. To make cookie, roll about 1 tablespoon dough between lightly floured hands into a 2 1/2 inch rope. Place ropes about 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets; shape into crescents. Scatter pine nuts over cookies and press firmly. Heat honey over low heat until it liquefies completely, then brush liberally over cookies.

Bake in a 325 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden. Transfer to racks and let cool. Store air-tight. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen.
