Spicy Moroccan sandwich cookies - a delightful dessert with a kick!
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
  • 2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground anise
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped unsalted pistachio nuts
  • 3/4 cup vanilla creamy ready-to-spread frosting (from 1-lb container)
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until fluffy. Mix in egg and 1 1/2 teaspoons of orange peel, beating well. Slowly add flour, anise, and salt, mixing until well combined. Fold in nuts. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a 2-inch 8-point star-shaped cookie cutter to cut the dough, re-rolling it once if needed. Place the cutouts 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until firm to the touch, then transfer cookies to cooling racks to cool completely.
  • Mix remaining 1/2 teaspoon orange peel with frosting in a small bowl. Spread about 1 teaspoon of frosting on the bottom of one cookie for each sandwich. Place a second cookie on top, bottom side down, and gently press together. Allow to set before tightly covering and storing at room temperature.
