Orange Cookies

 Ingredients: 

Ingredients

250g Butter
1/2 cup Caster Sugar
1/3 cup Icing Sugar
1 Egg, lightly beaten
2.5 cups gluten-free Self Raising Flour
1/3 cup gluten-free Corn Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon fine Orange Rind
1/2 cup freshly squeezed Orange Juice

Extra icing sugar for dusting

Method:

Preheat oven to 180C
Beat the butter, salt, caster sugar and icing sugar until smooth.
Add egg, then orange juice and rind - mix well.
Place all dry ingredients into the mixture.
Stir through until dough rolls into a ball.
Use a cookie press or roll mini balls of dough in your hand, then press flat on non stick biscuit tray (or tray lined with baking paper). 
Bake at 180C for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool on a rack. 
Dust with icing sugar and keep in airtight container.







Tips:

• I used a cookie press set on this recipe. If you roll by hand or use a rolling pin and cookie cutters, you may need some extra flour to make sure the mixture doesn't stick to your fingers. 

• I prefer not to have my baking too sweet but, you can add extra caster sugar if you like.
