Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon cake flour
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons butter -- room temperature
1 cup minus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 large egg
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons sour cream
Glaze
1 cup confectioner's sugar
2 tablespoons butter -- melted
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Preheat oven to 400º F and line several baking sheets with parchment or
lightly grease them.
Sift both flours, baking powder and soda and salt and set aside.
Using a mixer, cream butter, sugar, zest and vanilla until light and
fluffy,
about 1 minute.
Add egg and mix. Add sour cream and mix.
Fold flour mixture in by hand, then blend with mixer 5 minutes. Scrape
down
bowl and mix on low speed until batter is smooth and velvety, 10 seconds.
Give batter a stir or two with spatula.
Drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart.
Bake until cookies have puffed up and are firm to the touch, just
beginning
to turn golden around the edges, 10 minutes. Let cookies sit 2-3 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare glaze by blending butter and lemon juice with sugar
until
smooth and creamy.
Once cookies have cooled, drop generously rounded 1/2 teaspoon glaze onto
each cookie and spread. Let sit until glaze hardens, about 2 hours. Or
pop
in fridge 1 hour.
Store in airtight plastic container at room temperature the first day,
then
in the fridge for the next day or in the freezer 2 weeks.
