(recette en français, plus bas…)
These orange cookies are perfect for an unexpected tea time, when you really have no time to prepare something to munch along with your tea… By the time your oven will be hot, the lovely cookies will be shaped and ready to be baked… Que demander de plus? I found the recipe in Emma Patmore’s book “Gourmandises à l’anglaise” and have already baked them many, many times
The original recipe mixes zests of orange, lime and lemon. I prefer one at a time and this time is for orange.
I am sending these orange cookies to Champa’s monthly event: baking from the books – cookies.
Ingredients for about 20 cookies:
80g butter, softened at room temperature
80 g raw cane sugar (normal sugar is fine, too)
1 egg
180g flour
1 orange zest
2 teaspoons orange juice
Method:
Preheat oven at 200°C.Whisk the butter with both sugars until the mixture becomes fluffy.
Add the beaten egg and orange zest. Mix well.
Add two spoons of orange juice and mix well.
From that stage, if you were using a whisk, change to a wooden spoon. Sieve the flour onto the mixture.
The dough should be soft.
Sprinkle flour on your working space and roll the dough. It should be about 4 – 5 mm thick.
