Cooking Orange "Kisses"

These cute creamy sponge cakes are best made tiny, literally two bites away. Treat your colleagues and friends with this delicacy.

It is necessary

• For the test:
• - 2 eggs;
• - 225 g flour;
• - 125 g of caster sugar;
• - 80 g of cocoa powder;
• - 125 g butter;
• - 1, 5 teaspoons of baking powder;
• - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract;
• - 125 ml of milk.
• For orange cream:
• - 150 g butter;
• - 275 g of icing sugar;
• - 2 tablespoons of orange juice;
• 2 drops of liquid orange food coloring (optional)

Instructions

Step 1

Stir the butter with sugar and whisk into a fluffy light creamy mass. Add loose eggs in portions, stirring thoroughly each time.

Step 2

Sift flour, combine with baking powder and cocoa powder. Gently start kneading with movements from bottom to top, then add vanilla extract into the dough, pour in milk.

Step 3

Using two teaspoons, spread the finished dough on a baking sheet, being careful to keep the portions rounded.

Step 4

Place the slides of dough on a baking sheet at a great distance from each other, since the biscuits are rather blurry during baking.

Step 5

Place the silicone mat on a metal baking sheet. Basics can be baked on two baking sheets at once: put a silicone mat on one, and line the other with baking paper.

Step 6

Swap the trays in the oven while cooking. Bake for 10-12 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 °. The biscuits are ready when they spring under your fingers.

Step 7

Let cool for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack until it cools completely. Bake the following batches of cookies in a similar manner until you have used up all the dough. In total, you should get 36-40 biscuit cakes.

Step 8

Make orange cream. Whisk the butter into a soft, creamy mixture. Stir in the icing sugar, orange juice and color if desired.

Step 9

Fill a pastry bag with a star attachment with cream. Place the cream in the form of curls on half of the biscuits and cover with the remaining biscuits, decorate the cakes with powdered sugar.
