This recipe comes courtesy of one of my co-workers who made them for our holiday cookie exchange. I fell in love with them and had to have the recipe. The secret is only using fresh orange rind and juice! Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 cup sour cream |
2 eggs |
3 tablespoons freshly grated orange zest |
4 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2/3 cup orange juice |
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest |
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and sour cream until smooth.
3. Beat in eggs one at a time then add orange zest.
4. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir into sugar-sour cream mixture, alternating with orange juice.
5. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets or in madeleine-style pans.
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before moving to wire cooling rack.
7. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, sugar and orange zest. Mix in orange juice, 1 Tbs. at a time until desired consistency is reached. Spread over cooled cookies.
