Yield Makes 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups whole blanched almonds
1 cup confectioners' sugar
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
3 tablespoons finely grated orange zest (2 to 3 oranges)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sanding or granulated sugar, for rolling

Steps:

  • Place almonds and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Process until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal; set aside.
  • Place butter and zest in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. On low, add almond mixture; beat until combined, 10 to 15 seconds. Add egg and orange juice; combine. Add flour; combine.
  • Place two 12-by-16-inch pieces of parchment on a clean work surface. Divide dough in half. Form a rough log with each half; place on parchment. Fold parchment over dough; use a ruler to roll and press dough into 1 1/2-inch-diameter logs. Wrap. Chill for at least 3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Spread sanding sugar in a baking pan. Unwrap logs; roll in sugar to coat. Cut into scant 1/4-inch-thick rounds; place on sheets, 1 inch apart. Bake until edges turn golden, about 15 minutes, rotating halfway through. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Bake or freeze remaining dough. Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality oranges. The flavor of your cookies will be greatly affected by the quality of the oranges you use. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have a deep orange color. Avoid oranges that have blemishes or bruises.
  • Zest the oranges finely. The finer the zest, the more flavor it will release into the cookies. Use a Microplane zester or a fine grater to zest the oranges.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them light and tender. Cream the butter and sugar for at least 2 minutes, or until the mixture is pale yellow and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time. This will help to prevent the cookies from curdling. Beat each egg into the butter-sugar mixture until it is completely incorporated.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and still soft in the center. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Orange sable cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their bright citrus flavor and tender texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special cookie to bake, give orange sable cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
