Orappies!

For lack of a better name, I'm calling these "orappies"! They're the orange and poppy-seed cookies I made the other night, and here's the recipie, with my modifications.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 4 teaspoons shaved orange rinds
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup poppy seed

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, whip eggs and sugar until light. Mix in the orange extract and oil. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the egg mixture along with the poppy seeds. Form dough into 4 logs and place them 3 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet; flatten slightly.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Remove to a cutting board and slice each log into 1/4 inch wide diagonal slices with a serrated knife. Return the slices to the baking sheet, cut side down.
  4. Return the slices to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until toasted.
Now, the key trick that really pulls this together is the glaze I made. And unlike the last recipie, this is all me!

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla
  • 4 teaspoons of orange rinds
  • 3 cups of powdered sugar
DIRECTIONS:
  1. In a medium bowl, pour in milk and 1/2 cup of sugar. Stir. Continue adding sugar and stirring, while adding vanilla and orange rinds. Consistency should be "gooey".
  2. Once it reaches the right consistency, pour over the cooled orappies. Cookies should be coated as completely as possible and then covered. Glaze may still be somewhat runny.
  3. Refrigerate over night and serve. Glaze should be hardened by now.
