First, let me explain how I got to this delectable recipe I am about to share...
As I was browsing through blogs this morning, I came across a wedding blog that mentioned us. Floridian Weddings is a website run by three creative, young women in the hopes to bring their readers "modern, stylish inspiration and resources for weddings" in the beautiful state of Florida. I read a few of their most recent posts and then started browsing around their website some more. I decided to check out their vendors page, naturally going to the catering section first. And there we were, Tastebuds Custom Catering, Naples - "full-service caterer with a fun, creative style and environmentally sustainable practices." So, thank you for featuring us in your catering section!
Now, back to what brightened up my Friday. The morning started off a little dreary, no way to start a Friday...However, the sky seems to be clearing up and the sun is finally making it's appearance. But, as I was browsing through Floridian Weddings' site, I came across a post called Afternoon Delight: Orange Crinkle Cookies. This was posted on a Friday also, as a way to brighten up everyone's Friday afternoon. I thought I would share this recipe with you because after reading their post about these cookies, not only was I smiling, but my tummy started growling. With no plans on my agenda this weekend, you can bet I will be trying out these cookies.
I hope this brightens up your afternoon as it did mine! (Thanks again Floridan Weddings!)
ORANGE CRINKLE COOKIES
Yield: 2-3 dozen small cookies
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
1 egg
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease light colored baking sheets generously with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together and set aside.
In the bowl of a standing mixer, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Scrape sides and add extract, egg, zest and juice, mixing until combined. Add dry mix in 3 batches, until just combined, scraping the sides in between in addition. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
Pour powdered sugar onto a bowl or large plate. Roll a scant tablespoon of dough into a ball (about 1" in diameter), or use a 1" scoop, and roll in powdered sugar. Place on baking sheet (do not press down) and repeat with remaining dough. Place cookie sheets back in refrigerator until chilled again, about 10-15 minutes.
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until bottoms are just beginning to brown and cookies are no longer shiny on top. Remove from oven and cool cookies about 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
