Dan: 
 
Ingredients
  • 8 ounces cool butter
  • 1½ cups confectioners sugar (190 grams)
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar (75grams)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon orange extract
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 3 cups all purpose flour (390 grams)
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside
  2. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars until they are fluffy and have lightened in color, about 2 minutes
  3. Add the egg, vanilla, orange extract and buttermilk and beat on medium low until smooth
  4. Add the flour all at once, mixing on low just until a dough forms
  5. Allow the dough to rest in the bowl for 10-15 minutes. This will allow the flour to fully absorb the moisture in the dough, making it less sticky and easier to roll
  6. Preheat your oven to 375*F and line 2 cookie trays with parchment
  7. Roll the dough to about ¼" thick using your favorite rolling method
  8. Cut out the cookies, then combine the scrapes with the second half of the dough and repeat rolling and cutting. Continue on until you have cut out your desired amount of cookies
  9. Bake the cookies for 7-10 minutes, until the they golden brown around the edges
  10. Allow them to cool on the trays then leave them set at room temperature for at least one hour before decorating
