Directions
In large mixing bowl stir together flour, powdered sugar and cornstarch.
Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in nuts.
Combine egg yolks, 1 tablespoon orange peel and 4 tablespoons orange juice; add to flour mixture, stirring until moistened.
If needed, add more orange juice to moisten.
On lightly floured surface, knead dough til it forms a ball.
Shape dough into 1¼ inch balls.
Arrange balls on ungreased baking sheets; flatten by pressing with the bottom of a glass to ¼ inch thickness, dipping glass into sugar for each round.
Bake at 350℉ (180℃) F for 12 to 15 minutes or until edges begin to brown.
Remove from baking sheets.
Cool on wire rack.
Frost with Orange Frosting.
If desired, garnish with finely shredded orange peel.
ORANGE FROSTING: In a bowl, stir together powdered sugar, butter, orange peel and enough orange juice to make an icing of spreading consistency.
