Dessert / Cookies: Orange Slices

From Marlene Winter
Note: I make these at Christmas or for special holidays.

Ingredients
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon finely grated orange peel
2 cups all-purpose flour
Orange colored decorating sugar

Directions
Beat butter, sugar, vanilla and orange peel in a large bowl with electric mixer until blended. On low speed, beat in flour until blended. Divide dough in half; shape each half into a 6-inch long log. Roll logs in orange-colored decorating sugar. Wrap and chill until firm.

Cut into ¼ inch thick rounds. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake in 350 degree oven for 8 minutes or until golden. Remove to wire rack to cool. Makes 48.
