INGREDIENTS

Dough
• 250 g wheat flour
• 100 g sugar
• 125 g butter
• 1 egg

Decoration
• sprinkles and other decorations
• 60 g icing sugar
• 1 tbsp orange juice
• 1 untreated orange

Also
• Wheat flour for dusting
• 1 egg for coating

PREPARATION

Using a stand mixer insert the dough hook

Add the flour, sugar, butter in small pieces and the egg. Close the container and knead on speed 1 until the dough is smooth

Shape the dough into a rectangle and place in the plastic ZWILLING FRESH & SAVE Box, seal, vacuum seal and chill for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 180 °C top and bottom heat (160 °C fan). Line baking trays with baking paper.

Remove the dough, divide in half and put one half back in the fridge. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of approx. 3 mm. Cut out biscuits in the desired shape and place them on the trays, leaving some space between them. Keep kneading the dough scraps together and roll out again. Prepare the second portion of dough in the same way.

Whisk the egg and brush half of the cookies with it. Decorate them with sprinkles as desired. Leave the other half undecorated. Place one baking tray in the middle of the oven and bake the cookies, depending on their thickness, for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Take them out of the oven, remove them from the tray and let them cool down on cake racks or a grid. Then bake the other cookies, one tray at a time.

Decorate the cookies without egg with icing made by mixing the icing sugar with the orange juice. Wash the orange with hot water and grate the peel into zests using the ZWILLING Z-CUT fine grater. Sprinkle the zests decoratively on the icing while it is still wet, then allow to set.

TIP

The vegetables can be varied according to season and taste, e.g. celeriac, parsley root or beetroot also work well in this recipe.
