Ingredients
- 4.5 ounces butter softened
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 ⅞ cup flour
- 2 egg
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 orange zested
- salt a pinch
- ¾ cup prunes pitted
Instructions
- Start off with the dough. In a large bowl whisk together softened butter, orange zest, salt and sugar. Add one egg and whisk again.
- Sift together flour and baking powder and add them into the butter and egg mixture. Knead the dough until all ingredients are combined, wrap it in a plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, puree the prunes until smooth.
- On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough to ⅛-1/16 inch thick. If it's too thick, the dough may break during shaping. Using a ruler as a helper, cut out squares 2.5 х 2.5 in.
- Transfer the squares on the 2 parchment lined baking sheets. Make diagonal cuts in each corner of every square about 2 inches to the centre.
- Lift one corner of a square and fold it into the middle. Fold the next corner onto the previous one. Continue folding 2 more corners until your cookies have a pinwheel shape.
- Lightly press in the center of the cookies and place there about a teaspoon of prune jam.
- Brush cookies with a beaten egg and bake in a preheated to 390 F oven for 9-10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Just before serving sprinkle with an icing sugar.
