Ingredients
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Icing sugar
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest (from 1 orange)
- 75 grams Unsalted butter (for filling)
- 150 grams Icing sugar (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon Orange juice
- 50 grams Dark chocolate
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and icing sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and orange zest to the creamed butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
Step 4
Sift the all-purpose flour and cornstarch together, then gradually add to the butter mixture. Stir gently to form a smooth, soft dough.
Step 5
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Pipe small, evenly sized rosettes (about 3 cm in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them slightly apart.
Step 6
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are firm and lightly golden at the edges. Allow to cool completely on the trays.
Step 7
To prepare the filling, beat the unsalted butter and icing sugar together until creamy. Add the orange juice and mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 8
Pair up the cooled biscuits by size, then pipe or spread a small amount of orange cream filling onto the flat side of one biscuit. Gently press the matching biscuit on top to create a sandwich.
Step 9
Melt the dark chocolate using a microwave or a double boiler. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each biscuit sandwich or dip one end into the chocolate for a stylish finish.
Step 10
Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving. Store the Viennese Orange Kisses in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
