Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Icing sugar
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest (from 1 orange)
- 75 grams Unsalted butter (for filling)
- 150 grams Icing sugar (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon Orange juice
- 50 grams Dark chocolate
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and icing sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and orange zest to the creamed butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
Sift the all-purpose flour and cornstarch together, then gradually add to the butter mixture. Stir gently to form a smooth, soft dough.
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Pipe small, evenly sized rosettes (about 3 cm in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are firm and lightly golden at the edges. Allow to cool completely on the trays.
To prepare the filling, beat the unsalted butter and icing sugar together until creamy. Add the orange juice and mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Pair up the cooled biscuits by size, then pipe or spread a small amount of orange cream filling onto the flat side of one biscuit. Gently press the matching biscuit on top to create a sandwich.
Melt the dark chocolate using a microwave or a double boiler. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each biscuit sandwich or dip one end into the chocolate for a stylish finish.
Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving. Store the Viennese Orange Kisses in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
