Delicious Chocolate Orange Cookies
Ingredients
- 100 grams softened butter
- 80 grams powdered sugar
- 1 medium egg
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 300 grams white flour
- 20 grams cocoa powder
- a pinch of salt
- melted dark or milk chocolate (optional)
Icing
- 200 grams powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
Preparation
Beat butter and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg, vanilla, and milk, and mix well.
In a separate bowl, mix the white flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then sift them.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in several stages to form a suitable dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Roll out the dough between two sheets of plastic to about 3 millimeters thick and cut with cookie cutters.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
Bake in a preheated oven at 175 degrees Celsius for 10 to 15 minutes.
Allow the cookies to cool completely before applying icing.
Icing
Sift the powdered sugar into a bowl.
Gradually add orange juice to achieve a runny icing consistency.
Tips
Use simple cutters if desired for shaping the cookies.
If the icing is too thick, add orange juice drop by drop to adjust.
Using dark cocoa powder may result in darker colored cookies.
