Description
If you prefer orange flavor to lemon, you can use orange extract, orange zest, and triple sec. Or use almond extract, finely chopped almonds, and amaretto. For a non-alcoholic version, you can increase the lemon extract by 1 teaspoon and add 2 teaspoons of milk to the dough. In the glaze, replace the limoncello with milk as well.
