Ingredients

• 175g softened butter
• 50g golden caster sugar
• 50g icing sugar
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 300g plain flour
• zest and juice 1 orange
• 140g icing sugar, sifted

Directions

1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the butter, sugars, egg yolks and vanilla with a wooden spoon until creamy, then mix in the flour in 2 batches. Stir in the orange zest. Roll the dough into about 22 walnut-size balls and sit on baking sheets. Bake for 15 mins until golden, then leave to cool.
