  • 2 sticks ( 1 cup ) butter; softened
  • 1 and 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 1 tablesp. freshly-grated orange peel
  • 2 teasps. vanilla extract
  • 1 teasp. baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 and 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 and 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 1 tablesp. fresh, finely-grated orange peel
  • 3 tablesps. fresh orange juice

Directions:

  1. 1) Beat butter, sugar, orange peel, vanilla & baking powder in a large bowl. with mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in egg. Reduce mixer speed to low & gradually add flour, beating until just blended.
  2. 2) Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a 10-inch long log. Press down on each log to flatten one side completely. Wrap & freeze at least 30 minutes, or until firm enough to slice.
  3. 3) Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Have cookie sheets ready.
  4. 4) Cut one log at a time into forty 1/4-inch thick slices. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
  5. 5) Bake 11 to 13 minutes until VERY lightly browned. Remove cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
  6. 6) Icing: Whisk ingredients in a medium bowl until thick & smooth. Spoon into a gallon zip-lock bag.
  7. 7) Pour colored sugar into a bowl. Snip a VERY small bit off tip of one corner of zip-lock bag & pipe completely around outline of each orange-slice cookie. Now, staring at center of the straight edge of cookie, pipe radiating lines ( 4 of them) across cookie to resemble segments. Gently press cookies, icing side down, into colored sugar. Shake off excess & let cookies sit out until icing has dried out a little. Serve or store in airtight container.
