Recipe Introduction


Try some white chocolate chunks in these.


List of Ingredients




4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 cup cornstarch
2 cups butter
1 cup chopped macadamia nuts or toasted walnuts
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon finely shredded orange peel
4 to 6 tablespoons orange juice
Granulated sugar

Orange Frosting:
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
3 tablespoons softened butter
1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
orange juice (2 to 3 tablespoons)

Orange peel as garnish, optional


Recipe



1. In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, powdered sugar, and cornstarch. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in nuts. Combine egg yolks, 1 tablespoon orange peel, and 4 tablespoons of the orange juice; add to flour mixture, stirring until moistened. If necessary, add remaining orange juice to moisten.
2. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough until it forms a ball. Shape dough into 1-1/4-inch balls. Arrange balls on an ungreased cookie sheet; flatten to 1/4-inch thickness by pressing with the bottom of a glass, dipping glass into granulated sugar for each round.
3. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Transfer cookies to wire racks; cool completely. Frost with Orange Frosting, (recipe follows). Garnish with additional finely shredded orange peel, if desired.

Orange Frosting:
In a bowl stir together 2 cups sifted powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons softened butter, 1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel, and enough orange juice (2 to 3 tablespoons) to make an icing of spreading consistency.

Makes about 72 cookies.
