Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 1/2 sticks butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teasopon vanilla
- 1 1/2 tablepoons orange zest
- 1/4 juice of orange
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1 1/2 baking powder
- 1/2 baking soda
- 1/4 salt
- 20 edible flowers
Method
Step 1
In a bowl with an electric mixer, cream together softened butter with sugar until fluffy. Add in the vanilla, orange zest, and orange juice.
Step 2
In a separate bowl sift together all the dry ingredients. With a rubber spatula, stir in the flour mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes minimum.
Step 3
Form the ball of dough into two small cylindrical logs about two inches in diameter. Using a piece of wax paper can help and some extra flour to roll it out with out sticking. Put back in the fridge and slice off into thick disks when you are ready to bake them.
Step 4
Arrange on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. The cookies will flatten out and look Lacey like a pretty lace doily. If you’d like to add flowers, whisk an egg white and using a flat paintbrush, brush the egg wash onto the top of the cookie, and press the flower into the cookie. Cover with a little more egg wash for a shine. Sprinkle some extra sugar on top. Serve with tea on a vintage mirror tray!
