ORANGE COOKIES

Instructions

1. Cut the butter into pieces and put them in a bowl. Leave it out of the fridge for a few minutes, to soften it.
2. In a bowl sieve the flour, then add a pinch of salt and the sugar. Mix well.
3. Wash and dry the orange and then grate it. Then add and mix it into the flour.
4. Add the flour mix to the butter and mix with a fork or with your hands until you form a cookie dough.
5. Cover the cookie dough mix and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
6. Remove the cookie dough mix from the refrigerator, and pre-heat the oven to 180 °C degrees (356 °F approx.).
7. Put some flour on the kitchen worktop and spread half the dough with a rolling pin. Then cut your cookies in any shape you want (I use cookie cutters).
8. In an oven tray with grease-proof or non-stick baking paper (you can also spread some oil and sprinkle flour), place your cookies and cook them in the oven for around 10 minutes or until they are golden.
9. Wait until they cool down to remove them from the tray.
10. If you want to easily decorate them, you can sprinkle icing sugar (optional).
