Easy, yummy and light.Love these biscuits and so does my whole family. I make these at least once a month. I add less sugar though as they are quite nice with just 3/4 of a cup.

One up was too much sugar. Quarter cup and honey was suffice.

Great recipe, easy and great effect with the roll in icing sugar - will try lemon next time and perhaps orange flower water occasionally too

Definitely agree with doing 3/4 cup sugar instead of 1 cup. Really really sweet with 1 cup caster sugar plus the icing sugar - kinda takes away the zingy citrus flavour you want from the orange. Otherwise delicious!

Very easy and everyone loved them. I added a tablespoon of orange flower water to boost orange flavour, which worked well.

Super yummy and well worth a whirl... I came across these at family members place and couldn't believe such yummy biscuits could be gluten free... now a firm family favourite!

Absolutely utterly delicious recipe. Recipe notes:I made 2.5 times the recipe and only got 30 biscuits, despite only making each biscuit with a large teaspoon. I found they needed to be flattened more than I thought at first - pressed down into a thick biscuit shape rather than giving them just a light press. My first few still look very thick and didn't spread much. :) I might have gotten up to 40 biscuits if I had flattened them down that much to begin with.I used 3T of aquafaba in place of each egg white, which I think worked well. I reduced the sugar as recommended by other commenters and found them perfectly sweet enough even at 3/4c. This could possibly be reduced slightly. Making 2.5 times the recipe meant i used the rind of 2.5 oranges - - the biscuits are at the perfect amount of orange flavour for me at that amount.

I have made these biscuits, i dunked half of the biscuit into melted chocolate just to top it off, not bad.

Method
Preheat oven to 160°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Dust this with Icing Sugar.
Mix all ingredients to a thick paste. Sieve a layer of Icing Sugar onto the work surface and roll small balls of the mixture in the Icing Sugar to coat well.
Press down on the trays leaving plenty of room to spread. (Biscuits just need to be pressed down slightly not flattened out with a fork as you do with other biscuits).
Bake for 15 - 18 minutes then cool on a wire rack - store in an airtight container.
