Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Orange zest
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 400 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and orange zest until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and orange juice until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into two portions, flatten each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into desired shapes and transfer to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Repeat with the remaining dough, re-rolling scraps as needed.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorate as desired, or enjoy them plain!
