Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In medium bowl, combine first 4 ingredients.
In large bowl, blend together butter and sugar until creamy. Blend in honey, egg and orange rind.

Into moist ingredients, add dry ingredients and mix until well blended. Cover and chill dough for 1 -2 hours.

Remove dough to slightly floured surface, or between two pieces of wax paper, and roll to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with slightly floured cookie cutter. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until very lightly browned at the edges.

ORANGE BUTTER ICING:
In a medium bowl, blend butter, icing sugar and orange rind together with electric mixer on medium speed.

Gradually add orange juice until it reaches slightly creamy consistency, but not "runny".

Spread on top of cooled orange honey cookies, or between two cookies to create a "sandwich" cookie.

Also makes a great icing for a one layer white cake.
