These Orange Butter Cookies are made using the entire rind of an orange to create orange sugar. The recipe is simple with just four ingredients and allows you to freeze the dough for later use, making it perfect for unexpected dessert needs.
Step 1: Combine sugar and orange rind in the food processor and process until well incorporated.
Step 2: Add the softened butter and cream the butter and sugar until it is totally smooth.
Step 3: Add vanilla and flour.
Step 4: Refrigerate the dough for 15-30 minutes.
Step 5: Slice and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes, or roll into a log and freeze for slicing and baking later.
