Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of sugar until fully combined.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt ½ cup of unsalted butter in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until completely liquefied.
- Add the freshly grated zest and juice of one orange to your flour and sugar mixture. Stir gently until the mixture comes together smoothly.
- Pour the melted butter into the batter, mixing thoroughly until there are no dry ingredients remaining.
- Cover your mixing bowl with plastic wrap and chill the batter in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Set your oven to preheat at 350°F (175°C) while the batter is chilling.
- Transfer the batter to a pastry bag fitted with a round tip. On Silpat-lined baking sheets, pipe nickel-sized rounds of batter.
- Carefully place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the edges turn golden orange.
- Once the cookies cool slightly, consider draping them over a rolling pin or a cup to create an elegant curved shape.
- Store your baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their delightful crispiness.
