Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- In a large bowl, beat the caster sugar, butter and orange zest until light and fluffy. Add the egg and flour and beat until combined. Work the dough into a ball, turn onto a floured surface and knead slightly. Cover in clingfilm and chill for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and allow to stand for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and, using a cookie cutter, cut out 5 mm-thick cookies. Arrange on a greased baking tray and bake for 10 minutes.
- Combine the egg whites, orange juice and icing sugar to create a smooth icing. Divide between 5 or 6 bowls and colour each batch, bar one, using the gel food colouring.
- Pipe outlines around each cookie in your chosen colours. Add 1/2 t water to each bowl (except that containing the plain icing) and mix.
- Using a teaspoon, “flood” the inside of the iced outline on each cookie. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to set for 30 minutes. Decorate using the plain icing.
