Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the orange zest, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until fully combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Using a round or decorative cookie cutter, cut out shapes from the dough and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each cookie.
In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and water to create a light glaze.
Brush the glaze lightly over the tops of the cookies to help them crisp up and enhance the sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on a wire rack completely.
Serve and enjoy your Orange Cinnamon Crisps with tea, coffee, or as a delightful standalone snack!
