Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
- Line several baking trays with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer beat the cream cheese, butter, orange zest, sugar, egg yolk and vanilla extract until light and creamy. Sift in the flour and combine until a smooth batter is achieved.
- Fill a large piping bag with a 1 ½ inch star tip and pipe the stars spacing them about 2” apart. Place in a preheated oven for 20 minutes until golden, remove from the parchment paper using a spatula and place on wire racks to cool down.
- To make the cream filling, beat the butter, sugar, orange zest and juice until smooth. Place half the biscuits upside down, then spoon a teaspoonful of filling onto each cookie. Place another biscuit on top then press down gently. Place in a cool place until set, then dust with icing sugar before serving.
