I have not made cookies in a long time… It’s nice to have some simple cookies to have once in a while when having a cup of tea or just for a quick sweet treat.
RECIPE
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, sliced and cold
- 1∕8 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
Directions:
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper. When you are ready to bake they will bake in a 175C oven.
- Using a food processor, mix all ingredients (except for orange zest) for about 20 seconds.
- Turn out the mixture onto the counter and compact into a ball (you will need to knead the dough a bit… do not give up it will come to a nice smooth dough ball!) On a lightly floured surface roll dough to about 1∕2 inch thickness.
- Using cooking cutter cut out cookies.
- Sprinkle cookies with orange zest.
- Place the cookies on the prepared cooking sheets as you go.
- Bake until light golden-brown, about 10-15 minutes. Keep a watch on them the last five minutes or so.
- Let them cool on the cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring to cookie rack to finish cooling.
