Orange Slice Cookie Recipe
Ingredients
Cookies:
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
- Orange food coloring (optional)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon finely grated orange peel zest
- 2 teaspoons orange extract
Glaze:
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 12 Brach's Mandarin Orange Slices
Instructions
Cookies:
- Mix flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Set aside. Beat butter and granulated sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg, orange peel, extract and food coloring, if using; mix well. Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed until well mixed. Divide dough in half. Form each half into a log about 9 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap in wax paper.
- Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
- Preheat oven 350°F. Cut dough into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Cool on baking sheets 10 minutes. Remove to wire racks; cool completely. While cookies are cooling, cut Brach's Mandarin Orange Slices in half to make two flat candy pieces.
- Drizzle Glaze over cooled cookies. While glaze is still wet, press 1/2 of a Brach's Mandarin Orange Slice onto the top of each cookie. Allow to cool completely prior to serving.
Glaze:
- Mix 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, and 1 tablespoon each orange juice and milk in small bowl until smooth.
