Orange Cinnamon Wafers
- 5 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, well softened
- 1/3 cup Demerara sugar such as Sugar in the Raw
- 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh orange zest (from 1 large orange)
- 1 large egg white
- 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 scant 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Special equipment: a pastry bag fitted with 1/2-inch plain tip (optional)
- Blend together butter, sugar, and zest with a rubber spatula.
- Add egg white and stir until combined well.
- Sift together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt onto butter mixture and stir until flour is just incorporated.
- Chill dough, covered (or in pastry bag if using), until firm but not hard, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Pipe or drop 1/2-teaspoon mounds about 3 inches apart onto lightly buttered baking sheets and bake in batches until edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes.
