Citrus Stripe Cookies



Citrus Stripe Cookies are delectable, buttery treats with a citrus flavor burst. These visually appealing cookies are ideal for special occasions or whenever you crave a zesty-sweet treat.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons citrus zest lemon, orange, or a mix
  • 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Food coloring gels yellow and orange

Instructions:

Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

Mix the egg, vanilla extract, and orange zest into the butter

Mix well until everything is well mixed

Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet ingredients little by little

Mix the dough until it holds together

Split the dough into three equal pieces

Leave some of it the way it is

For the second part, add yellow food coloring gel

For the third part, add orange food coloring gel

Work the dough around until the colors are spread out evenly

Use a small piece of each color of dough to make thin strips that are all the same length

The strips will look like stripes if you put them next to each other, gently press them together, and then twist them

Slowly press the ends together to close the twisted strip

Do the same thing with the rest of the dough and place the striped strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Put the dough strips with stripes in the fridge for about 30 minutes

Set the oven to 350F 175C and heat it up

After the dough strips have been chilled, cut them into cookies of any thickness you like

Place the cookies on a baking sheet, leaving space between them

After the oven is hot, bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden

After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet

Then, move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down
