Preparing the Dough

Prepare Orange Zest:

1. Wash the orange thoroughly with salt water to remove any pesticides and dirt.

2. Dry the orange, and use a fine grater to zest it, avoiding the bitter white pith.

Creaming Butter and Sugar:

1. In a mixer, cream the softened butter until smooth.

2. Add powdered sugar and beat until the mixture turns pale and fluffy.

Adding Wet Ingredients:

1. Beat in the egg yolk and condensed milk until well combined.

Incorporating Dry Ingredients:

1. Gradually mix in the sifted low-gluten flour and almond powder until the mixture is just combined, ensuring not to overmix.

Adding Flavor:

1. Stir in the orange zest to evenly distribute throughout the dough.

Chilling the Dough:

1. Knead the dough gently until it forms a cohesive mass.

2. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.

Baking the Cookies

Shaping the Cookies:

1. Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 3mm.

2. Use a cookie cutter to cut out circular shapes.

Preparing for Baking:

1. Arrange the cut dough circles on a ventilated mat or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

2. Top each cookie with a small, dry slice of orange.

Baking:

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C (302°F).

2. Bake the cookies for approximately 30 minutes or until they are lightly golden.

3. Watch closely as oven temperatures may vary.

Finishing Touches:

1. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on a rack.

2. Once cooled, sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
