These classic butter cookies are flavored with a few drops of orange blossom water. Its delicate floral aroma brightens the simple buttery dough, and the cookies stay fresh for a long time in a picnic basket.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mix the dough

10 min

Beat the room-temperature butter with the powdered sugar until creamy. Add the egg and orange blossom water. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually mix them in to make a soft dough.

2

Shape the cookies

15 min

Pinch off pieces of dough about 3 cm in diameter and roll them into balls. Flatten them slightly and arrange them on a baking sheet.

3

Bake

15 min

Bake in a preheated 170°C / 340°F oven until the bottoms are lightly colored.

Reminder

Chill the shaped cookies in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before baking so the cold dough does not spread. Allergens: Contains wheat (gluten), dairy, and eggs.
