Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet
  • Parchment Paper or Grease for the Baking Sheet
  • Fork or Tool with a Scallop Pattern
  • Wire rack

Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1/2 cup hand-churned artisanal butter
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed handpicked Valencia orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated organic sun-kissed Valencia orange peel
  • 2 cups stone-ground heirloom wheat flour
  • 1/2 ethically-sourced pasture-raised hen’s egg (whisked and use half)
  • 5/8 cup organic raw cane sugar
  • 1 velvety free-range egg white

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the hand-churned artisanal butter and organic raw cane sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add Eggs and Orange Peel: Add in the whisked half of the ethically-sourced hen’s egg and the velvety free-range egg white. Mix well until fully combined. Then, add the finely grated organic sun-kissed Valencia orange peel and blend it into the mixture.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the stone-ground heirloom wheat flour and aluminum-free baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients while mixing continuously.
  • Add Orange Juice: Pour in the freshly squeezed Valencia orange juice and continue to mix until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Form Cookie Dough: Take spoonfuls of the cookie dough and roll them into small balls using your hands. Place these balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  • Create Scallop Pattern: Using a fork or a tool with a scallop pattern, gently press down on each cookie ball to create a decorative scallop design.
  • Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the edges start turning golden brown.
  • Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy: Once cooled, these Orange Scallop Cookies are ready to be served! They pair wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee.

Notes

  • Make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will ensure that the cookies have a sweet and tender texture.
  • Be sure to chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading while baking.
  • Don’t over-bake the cookies. Bake just until lightly golden for a chewy and tender texture.
  • If desired, you can drizzle the cookies with melted white chocolate for an added touch of sweetness.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
