Orange Zest Sablé
Cost: $2
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter, 8 Tbsp, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp orange zest
Instructions
- With an electric or hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar. It should be fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla completely.
- Add in the the flour and orange zest and mix till combined and a ball of dough comes together.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Chill for 30 minutes. Roll the dough out to 1/4" thickness on a lightly floured surface. If you have an embossed rolling pin, roll out the design and then cut out the shapes. These work well as 2-3" diameter cookies. If at any point the dough feels too soft, refrigerate.
- Place the cut cookie dough on a cookie sheet an inch apart and bake for 10 min. Cool on a wire rack.
Notes
- For an easy transfer to the fridge, use a cutting board or cookie sheet or parchment on a counter top to roll out the dough. And whenever too warm, simply transfer to the fridge for several minutes until the dough is stiff enough.
