Directions

With a wire or a mixer, we whip the butter, olive oil, vegetable shortening and sugar (125 g) until they are softened and soaked. We sift the flour, baking powder and vanilla and we pour them into the butter. We stir lightly and we add brandy, almond and the Turkish delight. We shape the snow balls”tight” into small round bites. We bake at 200 ° C in a preheated oven for 18 ‘. We remove from the oven, we leave to cool down very well and we put them into caster sugar.

The Turkish delight we must place it, after cutting, for 10 minutes in the refrigerator to tighten and integrate better in the dough.
