Method of Preparation
  1. Heat the whole-wheat flour in a frying pan on low heat and stir frequently until lightly browned.
  2. Chop coarsely 1 ½  cups of walnuts.
  3. In a bowl, mix the browned whole-wheat flour with the powdered anise and chopped walnuts. Gradually add the grape molasses while mixing with a wooden spoon.
  4. Mix thoroughly with hands and add the orange blossom water. Knead the mixture until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. On a durable plastic bag, spread the pastry evenly, then fold the plastic over it. Roll out the pastry with a rolling pin through the plastic bag to get a medium thickness.
  6. Unfold the top plastic and cut the pastry into small rectangles. Garnish the top of each cookie with the remaining walnuts.
  7. Leave the pastry to rest 30 minutes so that it cools down, hardens, and becomes easier to transfer to a tray.
