This Easy Holiday Cookies Recipe with butter, honey, and orange flavor turned out delicious. The cookies come out soft and fragrant to enjoy at any time of the day with family and friends.
Of course, you can model the same base in the shapes you like and decorate it for the holidays as you wish. I assure you that the cookies from the oven come out super delicious.
Furthermore, If you want to turn it more festive than that, you can decorate it with white or colored royal icing, chocolate, etc.
One thing is for sure these cookies are so good that they hardly exaggerate for the next day, especially if you have small children in your family.
Ingredients
- 80 g of room temperature butter
- 80 g of icing sugar
- 1 egg
- 3 tsp full of orange, or citrus honey
- ground orange zest
- 1 tsp of vanilla flavor
- 250 g of flour 00
- 50 g of cornstarch
- 1 tsp of baking powder
Directions
- First, in a deep glass bowl, mix the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer until creamy.
- Next, add the egg, honey, vanilla flavor, and ground orange peel (only yellow part) and continue mixing.
- In another bowl, add dry ingredients. So, we mix sifted flour, starch, and baking powder.
- So, we will gradually add them to the liquid mass, mixing until it becomes a dough. If it turns out to be too soft, you will sprinkle the top a little with flour and work it lightly enough to form a ball and wrap it in a cellophane bag.
- Let the dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the pans for baking by covering them with baking paper and preheating the oven to 180 degrees.
- We will open the dough on a surface sprinkled with flour in a noodle 0.5-1cm thick and cut it into the shapes we like. I cut the dough with Christmas shapes as we are on the eve of the holidays.
- Then, we will bake the biscuits in the preheated oven at 180 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
- Once ready, take baked cookies out of the oven, let them cool. We can serve them as they are, sprinkled with powdered sugar, or decorated as desired. For the decor, you can refer to our recipe Here.
Bon Appetit!
