Orange cookies recipe. Orange Filled Soft Cookie Recipe

24.11.2021

Sometimes you want something sweet, you are too lazy to bother with a cake or a cupcake, but cookies are a great option! The good thing about the cookie recipe I want to suggest is that ready dough must be kept in the refrigerator for half an hour. During this time, you can do other things or lie down altogether :-) There are a lot of orange cookies! From above it is covered with a delicate crust, but inside it remains soft and lush.

I indicate 1 piece of orange in the ingredients. We squeeze the juice out of it and "extract" the zest. I just got 90 ml of juice from one orange.

Let's prepare all the products on the list for the orange cookies.

The most convenient way to make the dough is in a food processor. Pour flour, baking powder and sugar into it. We will also send chopped cold butter there and punch it into crumbs. If there is no convenient device, then we grind all of the above into crumbs with our hands. I draw your attention to the fact that you may need more or less flour than the specified amount. It is better not to add all of it, but to look at its consistency. Do not fill it with flour, otherwise the cookies will turn out tough.

Then add the egg, zest and orange juice (90 ml) to the dry mixture. And knead the dough.

Put the finished dough in a bag and put it in the cold for 30 minutes.

We take the dough out of the refrigerator, pinch off a piece and form a cookie the size of Walnut... Dip the cookies in powdered sugar and put them on a baking sheet covered with parchment, at a considerable distance from each other, because they will "float". We bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes. The cookies remain light.

Gently remove the finished orange cookies (they are very tender) from the baking sheet and cool on the wire rack. Hot biscuits will feel very soft. But as it cools down, it will acquire that very delicate crust, but inside it will remain soft.

Serve cookies with milk.

Bon Appetit!

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 becomes room temperature and then, cutting it into pieces with a knife, put the butter or margarine in a bowl. Pour sugar there. And now mix the baking components with a spoon until a homogeneous mass is formed. Anyone who has a blender at hand - be sure to use it, it will shorten your time, even if the butter has not melted yet.

Step 2: knead the dough.

Spoon the creamy sugar mass into a deep bowl. Add an egg, sour cream there, vegetable oil, baking soda and a pinch of salt. All ingredients are thoroughly mixed with a mixer or a 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 improvised inventory in parallel.

Roll a ball out of the resulting dough and put it on 30 minutes in the refrigerator. By the way, if it is convenient for you to shape the dough on the kitchen table, lay it calmly on a floured surface.

Step 3: prepare the cookie filling.

While the dough is cooling, prepare the orange filling. To do this, cut the fruit into four parts with a knife on a cutting board and take out the bones from it. After that, the orange slices must be chopped.

There are two options. The first and easiest one is to use a blender. We spread the pieces into it, add starch and 160 grams of sugar and in turbo mode, we turn our components into sweet gruel. The second option is to take a meat grinder and grind the orange slices several times in a bowl. After the first scroll, pour the mixture into the inventory opening with a spoon and scroll again. And after that we add sugar and starch. Stir all the ingredients with a spoon, or a mixer, or a whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 4: working with the test.

The filling is ready, and the dough has already cooled down. Now we cut it into two pieces of the same size.

And now we alternately roll out each of the dough pieces with a rolling pin on the 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 spread the orange filling on the dough layer with a spoon, leveling it evenly along all edges.

We roll the dough into a roll with our hands and gently turn it over with the seam down. We do the same with another test rectangle. Cut each roll into pieces with a knife so that we get cookies.

Step 6: bake the Orange Tenderness cookies.

The cookies are almost done! Cover the baking sheet with baking paper and put our blanks on top of it. In the meantime, preheat the oven to a temperature - 180 ° C... We put a baking sheet with a dish to bake for 15 minutes.

Step 7: Serve the Orange Tenderness cookies.

After the cookies are already cooked, we take them out of the oven and set them to cool. And already before serving through a sieve, sprinkle our baked goods with powdered sugar. Good appetite!

- - If you didn't find an orange at hand, you can replace it with any jam or apples. It turns out very tasty too.

- - Due to the fact that the dough contains such a component 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 butter or margarine so that the base of the cookies does not burn.

- - Instead of icing 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 with each other and give a rich and pleasant aroma.

Soften butter at room temperature and mix with sugar. Add three tablespoons of sour cream and beat in an egg. Mix thoroughly, add a pinch of salt and half a teaspoon of baking soda or one spoonful of baking powder.
Stir in the sifted flour in small amounts and knead the dough. Transfer the dough to a plastic bag and place in the cold. Meanwhile, while the dough is infused, prepare the filling.
Remove the zest from the orange. Free the pulp from films and seeds. Transfer the freed orange pulp to a blender bowl, add zest, sugar and a tablespoon of starch and beat with a blender until smooth. Roll out the cooled dough with a rolling pin on a floured table into a cake layer 4 mm high.
Spread the orange filling evenly and smooth again with a knife blade over the entire surface without reaching a couple of centimeters to one of the edges. Roll the dough stuffed into a roll towards the non-greased edge.
Transfer the roll to a flat board and refrigerate until 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.
Lay out the soft biscuits with orange filling on a greased baking sheet at a short distance from each other, brush with crushed yolk and bake for about 20 minutes.

Dough:

280 g flour
80 g sour cream
80 g sugar
80 g butter
1 egg
0.5 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt

Filling:

1 orange (I have 250 g)
30 g sugar
1 tbsp. l. starch

yolk (for lubrication)
nuts for sprinkling (optional)

Today I am very, very delicious cookies! The principle of dough preparation and molding is similar, but only in the dough there is sugar and dough with a large amount of sour cream, I give a simple ratio of proportions, almost only 80 each, except for flour, it's easy to remember)) A whole orange goes into the filling, so the baking turns out to be incredibly aromatic, and very tasty. After baking, the cookies did not last even a day, they were swept away instantly))
P.S. The biscuits are not very sweet, so increase the amount of sugar if desired.

Preparation:

Cooking the dough.
Put flour, sugar, baking powder and a large pinch of salt into the food processor.
Add butter cubes. The quality of butter is very important for good taste, therefore, I will not tire of repeating - choose a quality product, preferably 82% fat.

Grind.
If you don't have a combine, you can simply rub the flour and butter with your fingertips.
Add the egg and sour cream (I have 20%). And then, and then from the refrigerator.

Knead the dough quickly, then put your hands into a ball. Do not knead for a long time, only at a minimum to collect into a ball.
Put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Cooking the filling.
It is very important to check if the orange is bitter!
Try a piece of peel with a white part, if it has a spicy orange flavor with a subtle pleasant bitterness, then use the first method. If the peel is quite bitter, then use the second method.
First method. Cut the orange into slices and remove the seeds, if any. Grind in a blender (along with the peel), add sugar and starch, and grind again, you get a rather thick and homogeneous mass.
Second method. The same as I used in -. It is necessary to remove only the colored layer of the zest with a vegetable peeler, but remove the white layer (it is called albedo), it is he who tastes bitter in this case. And chop the remaining peeled orange and colored zest in a blender, then also add sugar and starch, and chop again.
P.S. If your mass turned out to be liquid, no matter what method you cooked (although this is more important for the second method, since we removed the albedo, namely, it contains most of the pectin, which gives a thick consistency), then be sure to transfer the mass to a saucepan with thick bottom, boil over a fire until thick and cool completely.
I hope I did not confuse you with my long explanation)) I used the first method and did not cook the mass, there was no need, it turned out to be very thick anyway. But it all depends on the particular orange!

We shape cookies.
Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 3-4 mm thick.
Apply the filling evenly, not reaching a couple of centimeters at the far edge.
