Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups cornstarch
- 2 cups butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup coarse sugar, I used half cup each of black and white. You can use any colour you prefer.
- Orange food colouring, I prefer to use the gel, but you can use the drops. Just add as much as it takes to get to the orange colour you prefer.
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
- Add the flour and cornstarch to a mixing bowl and whisk to blend. Set aside.
- Cream together the butter and the confectioner’s sugar until fluffy. Add salt and food colouring and mix together.
- Add the flour and cornstarch mixture to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix ingredients together until a solid dough has formed. The dough will not be wet or sticky.
- Use about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cookie dough; roll the dough into balls and roll the balls into the sugar. Set on a baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
