Macademia-orange Cookies

Recipe

1 Aug

Title: MACADEMIA-ORANGE COOKIES
Categories: None
Yield: 30 cookies

———————–COOKIE DOUGH———————–
4 oz Unsalted butter, softened
2 tb Sugar
1 ts Pure vanilla extract
1 c Flour
1 c Macadamia nuts, chopped

——————–CANDIED ORANGE RIND——————–
2 sm Oranges
1 c Sugar
4 oz White chocolate, melted

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. For cookie dough,
beat the butter with the sugar and the vanilla extract
until light. Add the flour and the nuts. Mix until
combined. Chill the dough in the freezer 10 minutes.

2. Using your hands, roll pieces of the dough into
3/4-inch-diameter balls. Place them 2 inches apart on
a parchment-covered baking sheet. Flatten slightly.
Bake until just beginning to brown lightly, about 15
minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

3. Meanwhile, for candied orange rind, put 4 cups of
water into a saucepan over high heat. Cut the oranges
in half crossways, and scoop out the flesh with a
spoon (save flesh for other use). Slice the rinds into
1/8-inch- to 1/4-inch-thick strips. Place them in the
saucepan. Boil 25 minutes; drain.

4. Rinse the strips and return them to the pan with
the sugar and 1 3/4 cups water. Simmer over medium to
low heat 25 minutes. Strain the strips from the syrup,
allow strips to cool, and save for final assembly.

5. To assemble the cookies, dip the bottom of the
cookie and 1/4 inch up the sides into the white
chocolate. Tap off any excess chocolate.

6. Put dipped cookies onto a parchment-lined baking
sheet. Press an orange-rind strip around the bottom of
each cookie, adhering it to the cookie where the
chocolate coats the sides. Chill and serve within a
few hours.
