Ingredients
- 150 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 75 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Orange blossom water
- 1 tablespoon Zest of an orange
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 30 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a handheld mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the orange blossom water and orange zest to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms.
Step 5
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, form the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 6
Gently press each ball down slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm to create a flat, round shape.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to turn golden. The centers should remain pale.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once the cookies are cool, sift powdered sugar over the top for a light, decorative finish.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy these aromatic Orange Blossom Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
