Iced Orange Cutouts

  • Recipe Submitted by on

 Ingredients List

  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons grated orange zest
  • 1 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons ice water
  • ICING:
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange zest

 Directions

Whisk flour, sugar and orange zest; cut in butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Knead gently until dough forms. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/4-in. round cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until bottoms are light brown, 10-12 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For icing, mix confectioners' sugar, orange juice and zest until smooth. Spread over cookies. Let stand at room temperature until set.
