Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Fresh kumquats (finely chopped and seeds removed)
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the finely chopped kumquats, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, mixing just until combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for a finishing touch. Serve and enjoy!
