Ingredients
½cupall-purpose flour
½cupwhite whole-wheat flour
½teaspoonbaking powder
¼teaspoonsalt
3tablespoonsgranulated sugar
1tablespoonbutter, at room temperature
2teaspoonsgrated orange zest
1large egg, lightly beaten
2tablespoonsorange blossom water or brandy
¼teaspoonpure orange or vanilla extract
2cupscanola oil
2tablespoonsconfectioners' sugar
Directions
Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
Mix sugar, butter and orange zest in another medium bowl with a flexible spatula until smooth. Stir in egg, orange blossom water (or brandy) and orange (or vanilla) extract. Add the dry ingredients and stir until dough is soft and sticky. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
Using a saw-toothed ravioli cutter or a pastry or pizza cutter, cut each rolled-out piece of dough into 20 strips, squares or triangles. Place the cutouts on the prepared baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
Heat oil in a medium saucepan to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a double layer of paper towels. Place confectioners' sugar in a fine-mesh sieve or shaker and set near the stove.
Fry 5 cookies at a time until they’re golden on both sides, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the paper towels. Blot excess oil from the tops with another paper towel, then dust both sides with the sugar. Repeat with the remaining cookies, allowing the oil to return to 350° between batches. Serve the cookies within a few hours, dusted with more confectioners' sugar, if desired.
Tips
To make ahead:Refrigerate dough (Steps 1-2) for up to 2 days. Refrigerate cookie cutouts (Step 4) for up to 1 day.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
