Holiday flavors reign with each buttery bite of Cinnamon-Orange Squares. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
3/4 cup powdered sugar |
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons orange zest |
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
wax and parchment paper |
Directions:
1. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth.
2. Stir together flour and next 5 ingredients. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating at low speed until blended.
3. Divide dough in half; flatten each into a disk. Roll each disk to 1/4-inch thickness between 2 sheets of wax paper. Transfer dough, in wax paper, to a baking sheet; chill 1 hour.
4. Preheat oven to 350°. Working with 1 portion of dough at a time, remove top wax paper; cut with a 2-inch square cutter, rerolling dough scraps once. Place 1 inch apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
5. Stir together 1 Tbsp. sugar and 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon, and sprinkle mixture over cookies.
6. Bake at 350° for 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are golden. Cool on baking sheets 1 minute; transfer to wire racks. Cool completely. Store in airtight containers.
