3tablespoonsfresh orange juice(the juice from one orange)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163℃). Line two rimmed baking sheets with sheets of parchment paper and set them aside.
Add the softened butter, powdered sugar, cardamom powder, and all-purpose flour to a large bowl. Use a hand mixer to combine until a crumbly dough forms. (Note: The dough will look like crumbs, but it should be soft to the touch).
Form the dough into a ball using your hands. Then, transfer the dough to parchment paper.
Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough until it is ½-inch thick. Use a glass or biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 3-inch circles.
Transfer the cutouts to the rimmed baking sheets and bake for 12-15 minutes until they are lightly golden brown.
Let the cookies cool. Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the orange icing in a small bowl.
Once the cookies cool completely, spread the icing, and leave it on a wire rack to harden. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
Notes
Expert Tips:
The dough will look like crumbs when you mix it - that's okay. Start working the mixture with your hands. The heat from your hands will help you form the dough into a ball until it holds its shape.
Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to prevent it from sticking to the counter or rolling pin.
