List of Ingredients
1 cup butter -- softened
3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 tablespoon finely shredded orange peel
2 teaspoons finely shredded orange peel
1 tablespoon orange juice
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon gold edible glitter -- optional
Recipe
In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium
speed
for 30 seconds. Add powdered sugar. Beat until combined, scraping
sides of
bowl occasionally. Beat in orange juice until combined. Beat in as
much of
the flour as you can with mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the 1
tablespoon orange peel and remaining flour.
Shape dough into 1 1/4" balls. Place balls 2" apart on an ungreased
cookie
sheet.
Bake in a 325 degree oven for 15 minutes or until bottoms are lightly
browned. Cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile in a food processor or a blender container combine the 3/4
cup
sugar and the 2 teaspoons orange peel. Cover and process or blend
until
mixture is combined. Stir in edible glitter, if using. Roll the baked
cookies, still slightly warm, in the sugar mixture. Transfer cookies
to a
wire rack. Cool.
