These cookies are like a shortbread cookie but thinner and crispy. The orange flavor is just enough, and if you want to get super fancy, dip half a cookie in dark chocolate! They freeze really well for up to 4 weeks so they are a great make-ahead treat. Ingredients:
1/2 lb (2 sticks) butter |
2/3 c. sugar |
1 egg |
1 t. orange extract |
1/2 t. grated orange zest |
1 2/3 c. flour |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cream butter and sugar in electric mixer until light and fluffy. Stop the beater halfway through and scrape down sides of the bowl.
3. Add egg, orange extract, and zest and mix well.
4. Add flour and beat until just incorporated.
5. Refrigerate in mixer bowl for 20 minutes.
6. Pipe 1 1/2 inch circles of the dough through a tipless pastry bag or use a tablespoon to scoop them on an ungreased cookie sheet. For a more formal looking cookie, press the center of each cookie down with a damp hand.
7. Bake for about 12 minutes or until edges are golden. Remove to a rack.
