Recipe
Servings: 16
Ingredients
½ cup butter
½ cup sugar
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/3 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
Zest of one orange
Pinch of salt
Egg Wash: Traditional to this recipe, but you could skip.
1 egg add 1 Tbsp. water and beat until well blended.
Directions
Preheat oven for 350 degrees.
In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla, egg and orange zest until mixed.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Add this to your butter mixture and mix until just combined. Knead dough in bowl to ensure the dough is smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes
Taking a tablespoon of dough, roll dough into a rope about 8 inches long. Bring both ends together and twist the dough. Place on greased cookie sheet. If dough becomes to sticky, then put it back in the refrigerator. Lightly brush the top of the cookies with the egg wash.
Bake 20 -22 minutes* or until golden brown. Cool them on a rack or paper towel.
Note from LeeAnn: I baked the second tray for 19 minutes. The cookies were a little softer and less crispy. We liked this better.
