Orange Poppy-Seed Spirals

Categories: Stewart1

Serves: 36 servings

Ingredients:

1/3 c Poppy seeds
=== ORANGE-SABLE DOUGH ===
1 1/4 c Whole blanched almonds
1 c Confectioners' sugar
3/4 c Unsalted butter
3 tb Grated orange zest
1 lg Egg
1 tb Fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 c All-purpose flour

Instructions:
Place almonds and sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Process until
mixture resembles coarse cornmeal; set aside. Place butter and zest in bowl
of an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed
until white and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. On low speed, add almond mixture;
beat until combined, 10 to 15 seconds. Add egg and lemon juice; combine.
Add flour; beat until combined. Wrap in plastic, and store, refrigerated,
until ready to use. Bring dough to room temperature. Place between two 12-
by 14-inch pieces of parchment; roll out to an 8- by 12-inch rectangle.
Transfer to a baking sheet; chill 30 minutes. Transfer dough to a clean
work surface. Remove top piece of parchment; sprinkle poppy seeds over top.
Using bottom parchment to support dough, fold bottom edge to meet middle.
Fold over two more times, forming a 1-inch-tall rectangle. Wrap; chill at
least 2 hours. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with
parchment. Remove parchment from dough, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick
squares. Place on baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake cookies until
edges turn light golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Bake or freeze remaining dough. Store in an airtight container up to 2
weeks. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
