Orange Shortbread Cookies

The recipe is quite similar to the Lime Shortbread Cookies one I posted a few days ago; except there are no twists to the original recipe this time, but for the shapes. If you haven't got cookie cutters, worry not! Read more Just cut the rolled out dough into fingers with a sharp knife, place the fingers on the tray, prick the tops with a fork & bake. Great with a cuppa tea or coffee... or wrapped as a gift. Always appreciated!! See less
Ingredients
- butter - 1/2 cup (room temperature) shopping list
- Castor sugar - 5 tbsps shopping list
- Finely grated zest of 1 orange shopping list
- Flour- 1 1/2 cups shopping list
- Extra castor sugar for sprinkling shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C. Grease 2 baking sheets.
- Beat the butter & sugar till creamy & soft.I do this by hand.
- Beat in the orange zest. (I do this too by hand & don't use the mixer at all for this recipe).
- Gradually add the flour and gently pull the dough in together to form a soft ball.
- Roll out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2 " thickness ( for sandwich cookies I roll to a 1/4 " thickness).
- Put on the baking sheet,sprinkle with castor sugar, & bake for about 20 minutes till golden brown.
- Remove to a cookie rack to cool. Drizzle with melted chocolate if you like.
- Makes about 2-3 dozen.
