Equipment
- Cookie Spritz or Cookie Press
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and the sugar until well combined - about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg and the orange extract. Beat into the butter and sugar mixture until completely incorporated.
- Sift together the flour, and baking powder. Add to the butter mixture along with the orange zest, and beat until just combined.
- Load the cookie dough into a cookie press which has been fitted with the disc of your choosing.
- Press the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1 inch of space between each cookie.
- Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
- Once cooled, dust the cookies with the confectioner's sugar. Store at room temperature in a food-safe container.
