Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170 °C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Work the softened butter with the sugar until you get a whitish cream.
  3. Add the egg, orange zest and salt, then mix in the flour combined with the baking powder.
  4. Knead until you have a smooth dough, without working it for too long.
  5. Shape small logs about 10 cm long and place them on the sheet, spaced apart.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden on top.
  7. Let cool completely on a rack so they become crunchy.
