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. Read more See less

Ingredients

How to make it

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.

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.

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.
