Orange Icebox Cookies

Posted by warden2three at recipegoldmine.com April 28, 2001

Some good cookies I've rediscovered this morning.

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Few drops each of yellow and red food coloring
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and orange rind; mix well. Sift together flour, salt and baking soda; add to creamed mixture. Knead dough on a floured surface until smooth. Shape into 2 oval rolls, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap in wax paper and chill overnight in fridge.

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease and flour cookie sheets.

Add food coloring to the 1/4 cup sugar. Roll dough in colored sugar and slice 1/4 inch thick. Bake 10-12 minutes.

To prepare icing, mix confectioners' sugar and orange juice. When cookies are done, transfer to wire racks. Brush cookies with icing and let cool.
