Instructions
- In the mixer bowl, add the butter and powdered sugar. Beat on high speed with the paddle attachment for 4-5 minutes until fluffy.
- Add the eggs and mix until well combined. Then, add the milk and beat until fully absorbed.
- Add the honey and orange zest and stir well.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and vanilla to ensure even distribution.
- Once the butter mixture is fluffy, gradually add the flour mixture.
- Once the dough is soft and slightly sticky, form it into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours (overnight for best results). This helps the flavors develop and makes the dough easier to handle.
- Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) with convection mode (fan-assisted) if available.
- Take small balls of dough (25-30g/ ~1oz each), shape them as desired, and place them on baking trays lined with parchment paper.
- Lightly brush each cookie with the egg yolk mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Once ready, allow them to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Chef’s tip: Smaller cookies tend to have a crispier texture and a more balanced flavor. You can brush them with just egg yolk, but this will give them a deeper color.
