Ingredients

  • 113 g room temperature butter
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 1 small beaten egg at room temperature
  • 1/2 tbsp orange essence
  • 225 g plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Zest of half an orange
  • 75 g white chocolate
  • Pink food coloring
  • Rose petals and sprinkles for garnishing

Instructions

  • Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and creamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Add Egg and Orange Essence: Beat in the beaten egg and orange essence until well combined.
  • Add in the Dry Ingredients: Into the egg mixture sift in the flour, baking powder, salt. Then add in the orange zest and combine on a low speed.
  • Bring Dough Together: Use your hands to bring the dough together into a cohesive mass.
  • Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in cling film and freeze for about 20 minutes to firm up.
  • Roll and Cut: Roll out the chilled dough to about 1 cm thick and cut into equal sticks about 12 cm long and 1 cm wide. You will get about 12 cookies. With the excess dough, bring it together, then roll out and repeat
  • Chill and Bake: Chill the cut cookies, then bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown. Allow them to cool completely.
  • Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 15-second intervals until smooth. Add pink food colouring to achieve the desired hue.
  • Dip and Drizzle: Dip half of each cookie stick into the melted chocolate, shaking off any excess, and place them on a cooling rack to dry. Use a piping bag or spoon to drizzle patterns on the cookies.
  • Garnish: Sprinkle crushed rose petals and colorful sprinkles onto the freshly dipped cookies. The garnishes will adhere to the chocolate.
  • Storage: Store in an air tight container at room temperature once totally dry. Enjoy within a week.
