Instructions
 

Orange Scone Cookie

  • Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the shortening, butter, cream cheese, orange zest, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and orange extract. Mix until light and fluffy.
  • Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and blend until well combined.
  • Divide the dough into 14 equal-sized balls, each weighing approximately 3.6 ounces.
  • Place seven balls per cookie sheet on the prepared cookie sheets and refrigerate for 2½ hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake for 14 minutes, then gently press the hot cookie to create a flat surface. Continue baking for an additional 4 minutes.
  • Slide the cookies, still on the parchment paper, onto the counter to cool completely.
  • Transfer cooled cookies to a wire cooling rack. Dip the cooled cookies in orange glaze.

Orange Glaze

  • Add the sugar, orange juice, orange extract, and orange zest in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth.

Notes

Let the cookies rest overnight for the best flavor. Store in an airtight container after the glaze hardens.
