Orange Sugar Cookies

These citrus cookies make a fun treat all year but why not this Easter :-) I had fun making them with our little one and I can't say enough how much blogging has inspired me to bake more :-) thanks to you all for your inspiration. Have a wonderful Easter weekend or Passover depending on what you celebrate may God richly bless you.

Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 oz of butter softened
• 3 oz of sugar 
• one egg separated
• 7 oz of plain flour
• rind of one orange
• 2-3 tablespoon of orange juice
• about 1/2 a cup of icing sugar and a little water to mix to a paste
• sprinkles to decorate 

Method:

1. cream the butter and sugar and slowly add egg yolk
2. add the flour, orange rind and orange juice forming a soft dough
3. roll out the mixture  and cut about 15 small rounds with a cookie cutter I used a cup :-)
4. place on baking paper, prick with a fork 
5. paste a little whisked egg white onto the cookies and sugar 
6. bake at 400 for 12- 15 minutes
7. when cool drizzle with icing and add sprinkles

and below is a fun clip of us making Easter cards, we took some cookies and a card to a lovely 109 year old Grandma we know here. Be sure to take a treat to older folks in your community to brighten their day 

Much love and remember God loves you
