Swedish Orange Cookies

 

1 cup butter or margarine

1/4 cup + 1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 1/4 cups flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1/4 teaspoon orange extract

Cookie Glaze (see below)

 

*Note- a little orange zest is good in the cookies

 

Cream butter in a large mixing bowl; gradually add

sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Sift in flour

and cornstarch, mix well. Add flavorings, blending

well. Chill 1 hours.

 

Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place 3 " apart on

greased cookie sheet. Flatten each cookie with the

bottom of a small glass dipped in water. Bake in a

preheated oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. (Cookies

do not brown, but should be cooked through to center).

Carefully remove to wire cooling rack (cookies very

fragile). Spread cookie glaze evenly over each while

still warm. Cool and store in airtight containers.

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,

With tangerine trees and marmalade skies

Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,

A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
