Orange Poppy-seed Spirals

The New Testament warns against gossiping. The Greek word translated “gossip” means whisper or whisperer. In other words, the focus is not on the falsehood of the word but on the fact that it needs to be surreptitious. It is not open and candid and forthright. It has darkness about it. It does not operate in the light of love. It is not aiming at healing. It strokes the ego’s desire to be seen as right without playing by the rules of love.

INSTRUCTIONS

Place almonds and sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Process until
mixture resembles coarse cornmeal; set aside. Place butter and zest  in
bowl of an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Beat on
medium speed until white and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. On low speed,  add
almond mixture; beat until combined, 10 to 15 seconds. Add egg  and
lemon juice; combine. Add flour; beat until combined. Wrap in  plastic,
and store, refrigerated, until ready to use. Bring dough to  room
temperature. Place between two 12- by 14-inch pieces of  parchment;
roll out to an 8- by 12-inch rectangle. Transfer to a  baking sheet;
chill 30 minutes. Transfer dough to a clean work  surface. Remove top
piece of parchment; sprinkle poppy seeds over  top. Using bottom
parchment to support dough, fold bottom edge to  meet middle. Fold over
two more times, forming a 1-inch-tall  rectangle. Wrap; chill at least
2 hours. Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Line two baking sheets with
parchment. Remove parchment from dough,  and cut into 1/4-inch-thick
squares. Place on baking sheets, spaced 2  inches apart. Bake cookies
until edges turn light golden, about 15  minutes. Transfer to a wire
rack to cool. Bake or freeze remaining  dough. Store in an airtight
container up to 2 weeks. Makes about 3  dozen cookies.  Recipe Source:
