Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, room temperature and cut into cubes
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- 1¼ teaspoons orange zest
- ½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 2⁄3 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Put butter in a large mixing bowl.
- Insert the mixing beaters into the Cuisinart® Hand Mixer. Mix on speeds 1 to 4 until creamy. Turn to speed 1 and add the confectioners’ sugar and zest. Once combined add the vanilla and mix until combined. Reduce to speed 2 and add the flour and salt. Mix until fully combined, about 40 to 45 seconds.
- Divide dough in half and wrap each well in plastic wrap. Chill for at least two hours. Lightly flour work surface. Roll each dough out to ¼-inch thick. Cut into desired shapes and place on prepared pans. Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned around the edges, about 20 minutes.
