"This is adapted from a lovely Land O'Lakes recipe. This makes a ton of itty bitty cookies that keep really well, but you may not get to find out how well (cookie guilt doesn't kick in as quickly with teensy cookies as it does with the full-size ones). ;) Notes: Cook time includes 1 hour chilling time. For extra orange flavor, I like to add 2 packets of True Orange to the dough."

Ready In:: 1hr 25mins
Ingredients:: 11
Yields:: 16 dozen

ingredients

1 cup sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
³⁄₄ cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange peel
2 teaspoons baking powder
¹⁄₄ - ¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
sugar, for dipping fork
orange decorator sugar (optional)

directions

Combine one cup sugar, butter and egg in a large mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy, scraping bowl often. Reduce speed to low and mix in all remaining ingredients except for the dipping sugar and colored sugar. Beat until everything comes together to form a dough.
Divide dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a 12" long, 1" diameter log. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least one hour.
Preheat oven to 375 deg. F. Cut chilled logs into 1/4" slices with a sharp knife (you should get 4 dozen cookies per log). Place 1" apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Dip a fork in sugar, then press cookies in a crisscross pattern (like peanut butter cookies).
Bake for 6 to 9 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Sprinkle baked cookies immediately with colored sugar, if using.

I really enjoy Lando Lake Recipes and these cookies do not disappoint. They are wonderful, crisp, spicy with a nice orange flavor. A lovely addition to any platter. They were quick and easy to make with excellent results. Made for Sweet December 2014. Thanks so much for sharing Muffin Goddess

Yum! Very easy to make, and very yummy. Love the orange flavour with the hint of cinnamon. I used gluten free flour (corn flour, brown rice flour, cornstarch and 1 teaspoon xanthan gum), and they turned out perfect. Mine were a bit larger so I only got 3 dozen out of each log, but still a yummy lot :) Thanks for sharing!
