Ingredients
- 1½ cups all purpose flour (at least 11.5 + protein) (200 grams)
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup powdered/icing sugar (60 grams)
- ½ cup + 1 tablespoon butter (softened)* (125 grams)
- 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
*If you use unsalted butter then add 2 pinches of salt.
EXTRAS
- 2-3 tablespoons powdered/icing sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In the mixing bowl or food processor whisk together the flour, zest, salt and baking powder. Then add the sugar, butter, egg yolk and vanilla, beat together on medium speed or pulse together until almost combined.
- Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface a gently knead a couple of time to bring the dough together to form a ball. Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for 60 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and form into small crescent shapes (I made 28 crescents). Place the crescents on 1-2 parchment paper lined cookie sheets and refrigerate while the oven is pre-heating about 10-15 minutes.
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C).
- When the oven is hot, remove the cookies from the fridge and bake for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly golden, let the cookies cool slightly on the cookie sheets then move to a wire rack to cool, dust with powdered/icing sugar before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- For room temperature ingredients, remove from the fridge 1 hour before using.
- This recipe can also be made by hand, use a fork to bring the ingredients almost together, then move to a lightly floured flat surface and gently knead to combine. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill.
