Come Bake With Me: Tangerine Cookies Recipe.
These are the best tangerine cookies ever. They’re crunchy on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside, and they taste like a cross between a cookie and a candy bar!
Tangerine lovers will go crazy for these. And I promise you’ll be able to tell them apart from other citrus, flavored desserts because these have an orange zest addition that makes them taste so much more like something deep fried or candied in syrup. Just look at those pretty stripes!
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
The first step to making these cookies is to soften the butter. This can be done by leaving it out on the counter for about 30 minutes, or you can microwave it for about 15 seconds until it’s soft (be careful not to burn). Once your butter has softened, you’ll want to mix together all of your other ingredients so that they’re ready when you take them out of the bowl.
1 cup sugar
Sugar is an essential ingredient in cookies, so it’s important to use the right kind. White granulated sugar is what you want for this recipe. Brown sugar will make your cookies too dark, and molasses can give them a weird color (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Also keep in mind that if you’re trying to avoid refined sugars like high fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners like aspartame (those don’t exist), then homemade flour should suffice for making these treats instead of all, purpose flour.
1 egg
To make the cookies, whisk together the tangerine juice and 3/4 cup of flour in a large bowl. Add the egg and stir until well combined.
Add more flour if needed to prevent sticking—you should be able to form dough into a ball when you press it between your hands.
Divide dough into two balls; keep one half covered while you roll out the second half on parchment paper or waxed paper (the dough will be hard but still workable).
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vanilla extract is the best way to ensure that your cookies taste authentic. It’s also very easy to use, so no need for fancy equipment or ingredients. If you want to keep things simple and don’t want any strange ingredients in your kitchen, then vanilla extract will be just fine.
If you’re making Tangerine Cookies and want a little more flavor than just vanilla extract can offer (or if you’re using imitation vanilla), then go ahead and add some sugar or honey as well! You’ll still get all of the sweetness without adding any extra calories or carbs either way—and both these sweeteners give off different flavors when combined with other ingredients like lemon juice or orange zest respectively which could make for interesting combinations if used wisely!
2 cups all, purpose flour
Flour is a staple in baking, and it’s used for making cookies, cakes and breads. It also helps make pasta doughs and piecrusts.
You’ll need 2 cups of all, purpose flour for this recipe.
1/4 teaspoon salt
Salt is a preservative and flavor enhancer. It adds texture as well, which is why you’ll find it in most savory recipes like baked goods or meat marinades. Salt also has antimicrobial properties that keep your food fresh longer than without it (and this includes cookies!).
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Baking powder is a leavening agent that makes the cookie rise. It’s made up of baking soda and an acid, such as cream of tartar or sour cream powder. Baking powders are often used in cookies and cakes because they enhance the flavor and texture of baked goods without adding excess moisture.
1 orange, zested and juiced
To zest the orange, simply cut it in half and use a microplane zester to remove the outer layer of rind. This will leave you with a clean, light, colored flesh that has some of its natural oils and flavor still intact. Once you’ve zested your orange (don’t worry if there are some seeds attached), juice it by inserting the tip of your juicer into an open end of one side; then just squeeze!
Crunchy citrus cookies!
This recipe is an easy, to, make, no, bake cookie that’s full of citrus flavor. It’s also gluten free and vegan friendly! The crushed candies give it a crunchy texture, making them perfect for serving with tea or coffee.
This dish is certain to be a hit with everyone.
This dish is sure to impress everyone. It’s quite simple to create and only calls for basic ingredients. These are fantastic after, dinner sweets, or you can prepare them ahead of time and freeze them until you’re ready to serve them, they’ll be ready in a flash! Kids can easily make this dish because it just calls for a few simple steps and basic cooking knowledge, such as how to melt butter.
I hope you enjoyed the recipe! These cookies are great for any occasion, whether it be a family dinner or just because you want something different from the usual chocolate chip cookies. The citrus zest gives them a refreshing flavor that can’t be beat!
