In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until fully combined.Īdd vanilla extract, egg, orange zest, orange juice to the butter/sugar mixture.
However with some patience, left in an air-tight container for a few hours or overnight, the cookies soften up to the perfect consistency. When they first come out of the oven you might be scared that the cookie shell is actually too crispy and will fall apart when you bite. These combined with Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose Gluten Free flour gave me exactly what I was looking for. When I'm trying out new recipes, I often think about if I can do it gluten-free. The soft but dry, crumbly consistency I was looking to imitate in Fig Newtons actually lends itself very nicely to a combination of buckwheat and coconut flour.
