Delicious, truly guilt-free cookies with the strong, tasty flavors of ginger, honey, and orange that blend like a party in your mouth! If your store does not carry fruit-based fat substitute, you can easily substitute pureed prunes, or prune baby food in an equal amount.

⅔ cup triticale flour
½ cup rolled oats
1 ⅛ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup whole wheat flour
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

ORANGE DELIGHT COOKIES RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Provided by Gigirox

Number Of Ingredients 15

COOKIES:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup softened unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons orange zest
1/2 cup orange juice
ORANGE FROSTING:
2 1/2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons orange zest
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons orange juice (I used closer to 2 1/2 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and slat into a medium bowl and set aside. In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium speed for several minutes until light and fluffy. Add the egg and orange zest and mix until combined. Add flour mixture and orange juice in three additions, alternation between the flour mixture and the juice. Drop tablespoons of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet at least 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool on wire racks for at least 30 minutes before frosting. FROSTING: In a stand miner, cream butter and sugar at medium speed for several minutes until light and fluffy. Add orange zest and juice, and mix until smooth. Frost cooled cookies using a mini rubber spatula.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh oranges. The zest and juice from fresh oranges will give your cookies the most flavor.
  • If you don't have an orange zester, you can use a Microplane grater to zest the oranges.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies to be tender and flavorful.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges but still soft in the center. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Orange Delight Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are perfect for a quick snack or as a dessert. The zesty orange flavor is sure to please everyone. These cookies are the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
