Critical Success Points

  • Release the coconut oil by kneading thoroughly (step 5).
  • Incorporate the semolina without over‑working to avoid a too dense biscuit (step 7).
  • Shape the balls with the powdered‑sugar‑orange‑blossom mixture to achieve a crunchy texture (step 9).
  • Do not exceed 20 minutes of baking to keep the biscuit moist inside (step 10).

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven with kitchen gloves.
  • Do not touch the sheet immediately after baking to avoid burns.
  • Keep utensils and knives out of reach of children.
