Ingredients
Sugar Cookies
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 stick unsalted butter

- ½ tsp vanilla extract

Blood Orange Glaze
- 1 ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions
Cookies
- 1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place them in the fridge for 10 minutes before popping them in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool on a cooling rack.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and mix well.
- In another bowl, combine the rest of the cookie ingredients. Once the wet ingredients are well mixed, slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
- Pour the mixture onto a lightly floured surface and form a big ball. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough until it is 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into the desired shape (I used a circular cookie cutter) and place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place them in the fridge for 10 minutes before popping them in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool on a cooling rack.
Candied Blood Orange
- Combine the water, sugar, and honey in a sauce pan.
- Bring to a boil. Drop in the blood orange slices and reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes.
- Place on a baking sheet to cool.
Blood Orange Glaze
- Whisk together all the ingredients until a smooth consistency.
Finishing the cookies
- Dip half the cookie in the glaze. Cut a small piece of the candied blood orange and place it on top of the glaze.
