Time 4h

Yield about 36

Number Of Ingredients 9

Grated zest of 1 orange
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg, separated, plus 1 egg yolk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sanding sugar

Steps:

  • Combine the orange zest, granulated sugar, confectioners' sugar, rosemary and salt in a food processor and process, scraping the bowl occasionally, until the mixture is sandy and turns orange, about 1 minute. Add the butter and process until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the egg yolks and process, scraping the bowl occasionally, until combined, about 1 minute. Add the flour and process until smooth, about 1 minute. (The dough will be very soft.)
  • Divide the dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Using the plastic to help you, shape each into a 10-inch-long log. Wrap and refrigerate until firm but not hard, 1 hour.
  • Unwrap and reshape each into a smooth, even cylinder. Wrap again tightly and refrigerate until very hard, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly beat the egg white in a small bowl. Unwrap 1 log and brush all over with some of the egg white, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sanding sugar. Using a sharp knife, slice into 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Arrange 2 inches apart on one of the prepared pans. Repeat with the second log of dough.
  • Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges, 20 to 24 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these cookies didn't taste like anything.

These cookies didn't turn out well for me. I think I might have rolled the dough too thin.

These cookies were a bit dry. I think I would add an extra egg yolk to the dough next time.

I found that these cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup.

These cookies are a bit crumbly, so be careful when you're handling them.

If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use dried rosemary. Just be sure to use half the amount.

I've tried this recipe with different types of oranges, and they all work well. I especially like using blood oranges.

I love to make these cookies ahead of time and freeze them. Then I can just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them.

I'm not usually a fan of rosemary, but it really works well in these cookies. It adds a nice savory note that balances out the sweetness of the orange.
