While living in Florida, I found this cookie recipe in a book on cooking with oranges, writes Mary Ann Rafalski of North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 egg |
2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate |
1 tablespoon grated orange peel |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
chocolate frosting: |
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted |
1-1/2 teaspoons butter, melted |
1 tablespoon whole milk |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, concentrate and orange peel. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
2. Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-in. round cookie cutter.
3. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 6-7 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
4. Combine all the frosting ingredients until smooth. Place in a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in corner of bag. Pipe polka dots on cookies. Yield: 4 dozen.
