Delicious Homemade Orange Cookies: Delicious for any occasion
Here's a simple recipe for making orange biscuits at home:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined
4. Gradually add the flour and salt to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a fork.
6. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
7. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, you can dust the biscuits with powdered sugar for added sweetness and decoration, if desired.
