Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup icing sugar
- 3 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)
- Finely grated orange peel (from 1 medium orange)
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add butter, icing sugar, and finely grated orange peel, then mix until light and pale.
- Sift in the flour, cornflour, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until a dough is formed.
- Use your hands to mix the dough. It may take a little time, but it will come together.
- Lightly flour your work surface, then roll the dough out and flatten it with a rolling pin.
- Use a fork to scrape the dough on top. Let the dough chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Once the dough has chilled, take it out and use the fork to scrape the dough again. Use a cookie cutter to cut out the dough.
- Place the dough pieces on a lined baking tray.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes, or until slightly golden brown.
Notes
- The dough may appear a bit crumbly at first, but it will come together as you mix with your hands.
- Chilling the dough is an important step to help the cookies hold their shape during baking.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
