These Polish cookies are very time consuming to make. It's a great help to have a bunch of your favorite family members to help! They are very flavorful and rich. This recipe makes hundreds of cookies. Literally. But they are worth it in the end. The cognac can easily be omitted entirely But why bother! You can cut the kneading time down by using a food processor! Use a couple of pans for frying to make it go faster! (Assembly line)! Cook time is 1 minute per batch of cookies!

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. Choose oranges that are heavy for their size and have a smooth, blemish-free skin.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful when working with hot sugar syrup. It can cause severe burns.
  • Allow the orange knots to cool completely before storing them. They will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Orange bow knots are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little patience, you can create these beautiful and tasty treats that are sure to impress your friends and family.
