Recipe Basics Yield: Serves 4 to 6 (approx. 8 cookies) Measurements: USA Standard Ingredients: * 3 cups All-purpose flour * 1 teaspoon Baking powder * ½ teaspoon Salt * 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened * 1 cup Granulated white sugar * 1 Large egg * 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract * Orange gel food coloring * 1 cup Black sanding sugar or coarse black sprinkles Instructions: 1. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. 2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated white sugar together on medium speed until smooth and creamy. 3. Add Wet Ingredients and Color: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until completely incorporated, then mix in a few drops of orange gel food coloring until the batter turns bright orange. 4. Form and Coat Dough Balls: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until a soft dough forms. Scoop into rounded balls and roll each ball thoroughly in black sanding sugar. 5. Bake Cookies: Place the coated dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes until set. Let cool completely before serving. Chef’s Notes by NancyG: * Sugar Tip: Roll your dough balls generously in the black sanding sugar before baking to ensure a brilliant, sparkly crust that holds its color in the oven. * Storage: Keep these orange sugar cookies stored in an airtight container at room temperature with parchment paper between layers for up to 5 days.
