Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Delicious cookies! Buttery with a nice citrus flavor. I used a tablespoon scoop and ended up with 22 cookies rather than 40 as the recipe suggested.

    One of several dessert recipes from Milk Street that I"m testing for upcoming cookbook group gathering. These cookies are amazing. Crisp and crunchy, infused with orange flavor but not too much and, like so many Italian cookies, not too sweet but just right. You can taste the cornmeal but it isn't overwhelming. Easy to eat too many without realizing it, and very good with a chilled rosé. Recipes says it makes about 40 cookies but I ended up with 30. May make slightly smaller next time (used a quite small ice cream scoop). Soaked the currants in Cointreau and used a very large naval orange for the fresh orange zest.Recipe calls for salted butter but I used unsalted and only amount of salt recipe called for (1/2 teaspoon).
