Yuppi! I’m so proud of my first cookies! With the ingredients left from my Daddy’s birthday cupcakes I made these delicious Orange & Almond Shortbread Cookies. This is the simple recipe. Enjoy them with your favorite tea!
Orange & Almond Shortbread Cookies
(servings for 8 people)
200 g butter
120 g icing sugar
1 sachet vanillin
250 g wheat (I used 150 g white flour and 100 g whole wheat flour)
100 g fine ground almonds
2 teaspoons fine grated orange peel
Mix in a bowl butter, vanillin and icing sugar and work to cream them well. Then add wheat, almonds and orange peel and knead everything. Put the paste in the fridge to cool for at least half an hour. Roll out the dough with a matterello to ½ cm thick (or less as desired) and cut the cookies using the cookie cutters you like. Put the cookies on a plate covered with baking paper and bake them in preheated oven at 160 ˚C for about 20 minutes. Take them out of the oven and let them cool down. Before serving sprinkle with icing sugar.
