Orange Butter Cookies

Orange Butter Cookies deliver a buttery texture accented by fresh orange zest and juice for a bright citrus note. The dough includes ammonium bicarbonate for a delicate rise and tender crumb. After baking until edges turn slightly browned, the cookies are garnished with thin melted dark chocolate stripes, adding a bittersweet contrast. These cookies present a soft, aromatic treat balanced by the creamy butter and subtle orange flavor.

  1. Mix the soft butter at room temperature with the sugar until it becomes airy and creamy.
  2. Add the egg, grated orange zest, orange juice and mix well until fully incorporated.
  3. Separately mix the flour with the ammonium and salt.
  4. Gradually add flour to the butter cream and mix on low speed.
  5. If the mixture is too stiff, we can add 2 tablespoons of milk for fluidization.
