Since I am not a fan of sweet cookies, I have cut down on
the sugar and I find this amount not too sweet. The original recipe uses 150 grams caster
sugar.
These cookies have the lovely aroma of orange, crispy,
buttery and not too sweet . Lovely
cookies as a snack.
Recipe adapted from Yum Yum Magazine No. 95 with
modifications
Ingredients
[makes 85 pieces]
120 gm butter – room temperature
100 gm caster sugar
1 egg
Grated zest of 2 oranges
1 tsp vanilla essence
200 gm plain flour – sifted
¼ - ½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
200 gm white chocolate chips
- Lined a baking tray with parchment paper. Preheat oven at 180 degrees C.
- Cream butter and sugar until creamy, add in the egg and continue to beat until light and fluffy.
- Add in the orange zest, vanilla essence, mix well and fold in the remaining ingredients. Mix into a dough.
- Divide dough into small portions of about 15 gm and round up.
- Place onto prepared baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

airtight container.

Thumbs up, Kimmy! I like your cookies. I bought white chocolate chips but yet to use them. They are very sweet, so it was wise of you to reduce the sugar.
ReplyDeleteHi Phong Hong, most of my cookies are with reduced sugar as some are for giveaways to some friends who really don't eat sweet things. Though with reduced sugar, some may still be too sweet for some people...Hard to please everyone but luckily they do love my cookies, hahaha!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious, and easy to pull together!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely choose one of these first off a cookie tray...the idea of orange in a cookie has me almost drooling, seriously, they look lovely and delicious. Must try these so marking this one for later, thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi Emily, yes very easy yet the result is awesome. I prefer to bake cookies with easily available ingredients. This one is simple enough but really nice, aromatic.
ReplyDeleteHi Kayte, do give this a try. For CNY, I baked them smaller but other times, I will bake them a little bigger.
ReplyDeleteThis post is labeled CNY...can I ask what CNY stands for? Is it a separate group? I am making these cookies this morning and was thinking about posting them and linking to your blog for the recipe, etc. Thanks! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI made these and they are so addictively delicious! Thank you for the recipe...I linked to your blog post in my post. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Kayte, CNY stands for Chinese New Year, my abbreviation. Great that you tried and love it. Me too love the nice aroma of orange.
ReplyDeleteHi Kimmy,
ReplyDeleteI cannot remember the last time I had orange cookies! These looks great, and not too sweet is my kinda cookies! Like you, I always cut down on sugar too for most bakes. Kayte has made these and she loves it too! Thanks for sharing!
Let's see - orange, white chocolate chip, not too sweet. PERFECT!! Definitely making these at a later date.
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce, I supposed with reduced sugar in my cookies, many of our relatives look forward to enjoy them when they coming visiting my MIL and mum during CNY. Some send reminders that I have to prepare certain cookies for them to savour when they come.
ReplyDeleteHi TeaLady, these are for giveaways but I will certainly bake these again in a bigger size next time as snack for my family.
