- Add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar. Add a teaspoon of milk or so to form the dough. Just bring it all together to form the dough, do no knead.
- Cover and keep the dough for half an hour at room temperature. incase the dough is sticky you may keep in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven at 180 degree Celsius.
- Take half portion of the dough and roll it to 1/8 inch thickness between two parchment paper.
- Cut out circles with a cookie cutter and make impressions as you like. I made using this.I made impressions on half of the cookies which i kept on the top of the sandwich and the rest of the cookies I kept it plain. You can make impressions on all the cookies if you like.
- Place the biscuits on the baking tray lined with a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degree celcius for 12-15 minutes. Do not overbake them as they will turn hard on cooling.
Preparation of orange butter cream
- Cream the butter and sugar till nice and creamy.
- Add in few drops of orange essence and mix.
Filling the orange biscuits with orange butter cream
- Once the biscuits have cooled down sandwich two biscuits together. Place the biscuit without design on the base, put a dollop of cream and spread or use a pipping bag filled with cream. Make all the biscuits in the same way.
- Allow the cookies to set for a couple of hours and then store them in an air tight container.
Notes
- You may use icing sugar, regular powder sugar if you like.
- The amount of sugar used here is just right, if you like it sweeter feel free to increase the sugar.
- The beautiful orange flavour comes from this Brazilian orange essence which makes it perfect orange flavoured biscuits.
- In case the biscuits become soft after adding the butter cream, store it in the fridge.
