Orange cookies
I've already shown a more "dressy" version of this cookie - I made it with jam. But for a regular family tea party, you can simplify the preparation and bake just cookies with a light orange flavor.
Compound:
- flour - 350 g + for rolling
- sugar - 150 gr.
- cream butter - 110 gr.
- orange - 1 piece
- egg - 1 pc.
- leavening agent - 0,5 tsp.
- salt - 0,5 tsp.
Preparing orange cookies:
Remove the zest from the orange and squeeze out the juice.
Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl and mix together.
Separately, use a mixer to beat the room temperature butter with the sugar until lightened.
Beat the butter and sugar together.
Add the orange juice, egg, zest and mix.
Partially pour in the dry ingredients and knead the dough. (You may need more or less flour, depending on the size of the orange and the amount of juice.)
Partially add the dry ingredients and knead the dough.
Gather the dough into a ball, wrap in clingfilm and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Dust the table with flour and roll out the dough into a 0,3-0,5 cm thick layer. Cut out cookies with molds.
Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with baking parchment and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 7-10 minutes, without browning the cookies.
Enjoy!
