INSTRUCTIONS
THE COOKIES
THE SYRUP
Beat the oil with the sugar for about 1/2 hr.; add cognac. Add baking
soda dissolved in orange juice; add orange rind; mix well. Add flour and
farina, and knead very well to blend all ingreds. into a med.-soft dough.
Shape the melomacaronia into mounded ovals, flat on the bottom, scrape the

While cookies are cooling, boil water, sugar, and honey together in a
