Orange Butter Cookies Recipe

	Mrsfussypants / All my dishes 1 year, 10 months ago 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

½ lb (2 sticks) butter

2/3 c. sugar

1 egg

1 T. orange extract

½ T. grated orange zest

1 2/3 c. flour

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cream butter and sugar in electric mixer until light and fluffy. Stop the beater halfway through and scrape down sides of the bowl.

Add egg, orange extract, and zest and mix well.

Add flour and beat until just incorporated.

Refrigerate in mixer bowl for 20 minutes.

Pipe 1 ½ 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.

Bake for about 12 minutes or until edges are golden. Remove to a rack.

Perfect biscuit. I'm making these today! I think we're gonna have to be friends....

These turned out beautifully and I seemed to make hundreds of them! The only thing I love more than baking is being able to share what I've made - sent a batch home to my parents and about to drop a plate off for my elderly neighbours. Beautiful biscuits thanks so much.

They turned out wonderful and beautiful. I used cookie dough scoop to get even amounts of cookie dough onto the sheet and then used a decorative cookie press to flatten the balls. I needed to spray the press with non stick spray before each press; the dough is sticky. After they cooled, I did dip them half into dark chocolate and they were both delicious and showy.

I suspect an error in the ingredients. A tablespoon (capital T) looked like a huge amount compared to the dough; plus I have never seen extract measured in tablespoon amounts in my 30 years of baking. I have also never seen a recipe call for a half tablespoon, though a half tsp. would be common. Based on these oddities; I added a tsp. of orange extract, not a T. (tablespoon) I also got a better result on batches I baked on racks slightly above the oven center.
