  • Continue beating 1 minute to incorporate. Gradually add the flour mixture in thirds, then continue beating on medium speed until a stiff dough has formed.
  • Remove dough from mixer bowl; slightly knead by hand, then shape into a disk.

  • Cut circles then place on prepared baking sheets, 8 cookies per sheet.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges start to brown.
  • Immediately transfer to cooling rack.

Prepare the glaze:
  • Combine powdered sugar, orange juice and honey in a small bowl.
  • Whisk until powdered sugar is completely incorporated and a thick glaze has formed.
  • Glaze cookies while still warm; once the glaze hardens and the cookies have completely cooled, transfer to an airtight container until ready to serve.
