Orange Butter Biscuits


Recipe is adapted with own modifcations from the "Cute Cookies" by Kyle Catie



A  simple and easy to make recipe.  They are so aromatic with citrus smell and great to be eaten with a cup of coffee or tea.

Make 50

Ingredients
350g unsalted butter, softened
200g caster sugar
550g plain flour
2 tsps orange zest (or you may substitute it with 1 tsp of orange essence)
Icing sugar

Method
Preheat the overn to 160oC.
Blend the butter with the caster sugar, flour and orange zest together for 3 - 5 min to make a soft dough.



Roll into walnut-sized balls and flatten slightly.  Arrange on a baking tray about 2.5 cm apart.  This is to allow space for the biscuits to spread out.



Bake for about 25 min.  They should still be pale, look very soft and uncooked.  They will however firm up as they cool.  Remove from the baking tray only when theyhave firmed up.
