Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cold cubed butter, orange zest, baking powder, and salt. Work the ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice and egg. Pour this mixture into the flour mixture.
-
Stir the ingredients together until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add a little more flour. Gather the dough into a ball and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the orange stars and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake the orange stars in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until light golden brown around the edges.
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, dust the orange stars with powdered sugar for a snowy finish.
