What a crazy past couple of months! I've been neglecting my poor little blog due to life. And life I mean: graduate school, family, friends, holidays, and most exciting of all expecting a little one. Yes! We will go from two to three May next year! Now, that I am well into my second trimester and feeling much better, along with my winter break from school, I can once again focus on creating yummy goodies in the kitchen. With a week until Christmas, I scrambled together some buttery cookies to send out to friends. The first are these lovely orange spritz!
orange spritz cookies
ingredients:
- 110 grams butter, room temperature
- 90 grams sugar
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/4 tsp orange extract
- zest of 1/2 an orange
- 180 grams flour
- 2 grams salt
directions:
- Cream the butter, sugar, orange zest and orange extract together until well combined. Add the yolks and mix until combined. Add the flour and salt and mix.
- Place the soft dough into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 1-1/2 inches onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 350F for about 12 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Let them cool completely.
The cookies look great.
