Best Orange Cinnamon Wafers Recipes

Candied-Orange Wafers image

Yield Makes 12 to 14 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup minced candied orange zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 large egg whites
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Silpat or Exopat nonstick pad

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Beat together butter, sugar, zest, and vanilla with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low and beat in egg whites. (Mixture will look curdled.) Whisk in flour just until incorporated.
Drop 4 rounded tablespoons of batter about 3 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with nonstick pad. Spread batter evenly into 4‚- to 5-inch circles with back of a spoon dipped in cold water. Bake cookies in middle of oven, turning sheet 180 degrees halfway through baking, until golden brown, about 10 minutes total.
Cool cookies 30 seconds on baking sheet (to facilitate removal), then carefully remove cookies with a thin metal spatula and immediately drape over a rolling pin to create a curved shape. (If cookies become too brittle to drape over rolling pin, return to oven a few seconds to soften.) When cool, transfer cookies to an airtight container. Make more cookies in same manner, cooling and cleaning nonstick pad and baking sheet between batches.

5 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, well softened
1/3 cup Demerara sugar such as Sugar in the Raw

Sift together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt onto butter mixture and stir until flour is just incorporated. Chill dough, covered (or in pastry bag if using), until firm but not hard, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Pipe or drop 1/2-teaspoon mounds about 3 inches apart onto lightly buttered baking sheets and bake in batches until edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool cookies on sheets until warm (about 2 minutes), then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
