This comes from Canadian Living Test Kitchen and was found on I plan on making these tomorrow, but wanted to share the recipe with you. Notes: I added the 1 tsp. orange extract to the recipe as I truly enjoy the orange flavor! You may freeze the dough up to 1 month. Chill time is not included in prep time.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange rind
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon orange extract
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, orange extract and orange rind until fluffy.
2. Stir in the flour to make a make a soft dough.
3. Turn out onto a floured surface; roll into a 1 1/2-inch diameter roll. (stated as printed in recipe). Note: I think it should mean a 10 x 8-inch rectangle and when rolled it will equal about 1 1/2-inch diameter roll.
4. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm - about 2 hours.
5. Cut log into 1/4-inch slices and place on parchment lined or greased rimless baking sheets.
6. Brush with beaten egg; sprinkle with sugar.
7. If using a convection oven, preheat to 275 degrees. Bake on top, middle and bottom racks. Bake about 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
8. If using a conventional oven, preheat to 300 degrees.
9. Bake on top and bottom thirds of oven; switching and rotating pans halfway through. Bake 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned.
