Dry cookies with orange. Soft orange cookies

  • Soften the butter at room temperature and mix with sugar. Add three tablespoons of sour cream and beat in the egg. Mix thoroughly, add a pinch of salt and half a teaspoon of baking soda or one spoon of baking powder.
  • Add sifted flour in small quantities and knead into a loose dough. Transfer the dough into a plastic bag and refrigerate. Meanwhile, while the dough is resting, prepare the filling.
  • Remove the zest from the orange. Remove the pulp from films and seeds. Place the freed orange pulp into a blender bowl, add the zest, sugar and a tablespoon of starch and beat with a blender until smooth. Roll out the chilled dough with a rolling pin on a floured table into a cake 4 mm high.
  • Spread the orange filling evenly and once again level it with a knife blade over the entire surface, not reaching a couple of centimeters to one of the edges. Roll the dough with the filling into a roll towards the ungreased edge.
  • Transfer the roll to a flat board and put it in the refrigerator while the oven preheats. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Remove the roll from the refrigerator and cut into small portions with a sharp knife that does not crush the edges.
  • Place soft cookies with orange filling on a greased baking sheet at a short distance from each other, brush with mashed yolk and bake for about 20 minutes.

Step 1: mix the ingredients for the dough.

First of all, we need to grind butter or margarine with 80 grams of sugar. To do this, put the first ingredient in a warm place in advance so that it comes to room temperature and then, cutting it into pieces with a knife, put the butter or margarine in a bowl. Add sugar there too. And now mix the baking components with a spoon until a homogeneous mass is formed. If you have a blender at hand, be sure to use it, it will reduce your time, even if the butter has not yet melted.

Step 2: knead the dough.

Spoon the creamy sugar mixture into a deep bowl. Add egg, sour cream, vegetable oil, baking soda and a pinch of salt. Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a mixer or hand whisk until smooth. And only at the end, carefully add flour so that there are no lumps in the dough. At the same time, we interfere with the available equipment. Roll the resulting dough into a ball and place it on 30 minutes in the refrigerator. By the way, if you feel comfortable forming the dough on the kitchen table, lay it out on a floured surface.

Step 3: prepare the cookie filling.

While the dough is chilling, prepare the orange filling. To do this, use a knife to cut the fruit into four pieces on a cutting board and remove the seeds. After this, the orange slices must be chopped. There are two options. The first and easiest is to use a blender. Place the pieces in it, add starch and 160 grams of sugar and in turbo mode we turn our components into a sweet paste. The second option is to take a meat grinder and grind the orange pieces several times into a bowl. After the first scroll, use a spoon to pour the mixture into the opening of the inventory and scroll again. And then add sugar and starch. Using a spoon, or a mixer, or a whisk, mix all the ingredients until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 4: work with the dough.

The filling is ready, and the dough has already cooled. Now cut it into two pieces of the same size. And now we roll out each part of the dough one by one with a rolling pin on a kitchen table sprinkled with flour. We try to make it as thin as possible and in the shape of a rectangle.

Step 5: form the “Orange tenderness” cookies.

And now we spread the orange filling onto the test layer with a spoon, leveling it evenly along all edges. We roll the dough into a roll with our hands and carefully turn it over, seam side down. We do the same with another test rectangle. Using a knife, cut each roll into pieces to make cookies.

Step 6: bake the Orange Tenderness cookies.

The cookies are almost ready! We cover a baking tray with baking paper and place our preparations on top of it. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to temperature - 180°С. Place the baking tray with the dish to bake for 15 minutes.

Step 7: Serve Orange Smooth Cookies.

After the cookies are ready, take them out of the oven and set them to cool. And before serving, sprinkle our baked goods with powdered sugar through a sieve. Enjoy your meal!

- – If you don’t have an orange on hand, you can replace it with any jam or apples. It turns out very tasty too.

- – Due to the fact that the dough contains a component such as butter or margarine, the cookies should not burn during the baking process. But, to be on the safe side, if you wish, you can grease the paper with a piece of butter or margarine so that the base of the cookies does not burn.

- – Instead of powdered sugar, you can melt milk or dark chocolate and pour our cookies on top. In general, ingredients such as orange and dark chocolate go well together and give a rich and pleasant aroma.

Hello dear!

This orange cookies with a very soft tasty dough, but its most important decoration is the amazing aromatic, juicy filling of orange with sugar and cinnamon, not cloyingly sweet - just right. Very tasty, slightly unusual combination. I tried it on my family, took it to guests for a treat - everyone really liked it!

I share my delight and invite you to try it.

Ingredients for orange cookies:

Dough:

  • 50 g butter
  • 80 g sugar
  • 80 g sour cream (3 tbsp) - can be replaced with natural yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 300 g flour (or 2 cups, or 500 ml)
  • 0.5 tsp. baking powder

Filling:

  • half a large orange
  • 80 g sugar
  • 1 tbsp. l. starch (for thickness)
  • 0.5 tsp. cinnamon (optional)

Preparing orange cookies:

We use softened butter. To do this, you can keep it at room temperature or put it in the microwave on the “Defrost” mode for 30-60 seconds.

Grind butter with sugar. You can do it manually with a spoon, or with a mixer.

Add egg, sour cream, mix.

Then sift the flour and add baking powder. Start mixing with a spoon or mixer.

The dough is tight, so then we form a bun with our hands. The dough turns out smooth and plastic. Wrap it in cling film to prevent it from drying out. Place the dough wrapped in film in the refrigerator and let the dough rest. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes, during which time we will prepare the filling.

To fill this amount of dough you will need half a large orange. Wash the orange, cut off half and cut it into large pieces. Cut it together with the peel! We take out the seeds, it is better to remove the white partitions on the slices.

Grind the orange pieces in a blender.

Add sugar, starch, cinnamon, and beat the filling in a blender again.

Take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it into a rectangle (I got a rectangle about 30x25 cm). The dough is smooth, does not stick to the rolling pin, rolls out well, so there is no need to add flour. It is very convenient to roll out on a silicone mat.

Place the filling on the dough and smooth it out. At the same time, on one edge of the dough (farthest from you) we leave a strip free of filling, so that later it will be convenient to roll the roll.

Roll up the roll, moving towards the edge of the dough free from the filling. Turn the roll seam side down so that the cookies do not unroll during baking.

Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into cookies about 2.5 cm thick. I got 14 pieces.

Place the cookies on a greased baking sheet, a short distance from each other.

Place in an oven preheated to 220 degrees and bake for 15-20 minutes.

It’s very tasty, soft, very aromatic, moderately sweet, I invite everyone to try it!

By the way, to keep the cookies soft, do not store them outdoors (unless you have to store them, of course). Place in a bread bin or cover with a towel.

I wish you all the best and a pleasant, bright, eventful summer!

The total preparation time is approximately 2 hours, of which 1 hour the dough lies in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

For cookies
  • flour 200 g
  • butter 100 g
  • egg 1 PC.
  • sugar 100 g
  • zest 1 orange
  • baking powder 5 g
  • salt 1 pinch
For sprinkling
  • sugar 30 g
  • cinnamon 1/2 tbsp. spoons

From the indicated amount of ingredients, approximately 30-35 pieces are obtained, I think this amount is enough to treat 7-10 people.

Preparation

We prepare all the ingredients, remove the butter and egg from the refrigerator in advance, about an hour before cooking, the butter should become soft and the egg should warm to room temperature.

Wash the orange and, using a fine grater, remove the zest from it, erase only the top orange layer, it is this layer that contains essential oils, which will give the orange aroma to our liver, and the rest of the white part of the skin can be bitter, so try to leave it all on the orange.

Place soft butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat until a fluffy light mass is obtained.

Add the egg and beat until smooth. By this point, the sugar should have completely dissolved.

Add orange zest and stir.

Sift the flour and baking powder into a separate container, add salt and mix very thoroughly, it’s convenient to do this with a whisk, so everything will mix well.

Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix well, at first you can use a mixer, but at the end you will most likely have to add it with your hands. You will get a rather sticky dough, collect it into a ball, cover with film and put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

In a small bowl or deep plate, mix cinnamon and sugar.

After an hour, take the dough out of the refrigerator, roll it into balls, approximately 3 cm in diameter. Roll each ball in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.

Line a baking tray with baking paper or place a silicone mat. Place the balls at a distance of about 3 cm from each other. Bake for 10 minutes in an oven preheated to 200°C.
