molded cookies by Lalla

This recipe was developed specifically for molded cookies, so they won't flatten out and lose their design when baking. I developed it using the recipe framework in Anne Watson's cookie book.

Ingredients

Creamsicle Cookies (perfect for molded cookies) 1 cup butter 1 egg ½ cup honey 1 Tbsp orange juice 2-3 tsp vanilla 2-3 tsp orange extract ½ cup sugar 2 tsp cinnamon ¼ tsp salt About 4 cups of flour

Instructions

Cream butter and sugar. Add beaten egg, honey, orange juice, vanilla and orange flavoring. In separate bowl, mix cinnamon , salt and 3 cups flour. Combine wet ingredients into dry, then add more flour until dough is workable, it will be soft and slightly sticky. Chill for ½ hour.
