    Wash the orange thoroughly and rub the peel thinly. Halve the orange and squeeze the juice. Cut the butter into pieces.

Wrap dough in cling film and chill for about 30 minutes.

    Roll out the dough on a floured work surface approx. 3 mm thin and cut out moons. Knead the dough again, roll out and cut out moons. Place the biscuits on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 8 minutes. Remove cookies and let them cool down on a cake rack. Sieve 250 g icing sugar into a bowl and mix with 2-3 tbsp. orange juice to a glaze. Pour the icing into a freezer bag or disposable piping bag and cut off a small corner.
