You can add many different flavors to butter cookies to make them your own. Try an alternate type of citrus zest, or add an alternate liquid to change things up. —Sara Lark, Raton, New Mexico
Mimosa Butter Cookies Recipe photo by Taste of Home
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream first 4 ingredients until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Mix juice and champagne. Add flour to creamed mixture alternately with juice mixture, beating well after each addition.
Cut a small hole in the tip of a pastry bag; insert a #1M star tip. Transfer dough to bag; pipe 2-in. circles 2 in. apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
Bake until edges are set, 10-12 minutes. Cool on pan 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
Test Kitchen tips
Using parchment paper helps these buttery cookies hold their shape.
If your kitchen is warm, you might try refrigerating the piped cookie dough for about 10 minutes before baking to give them better definition.
The champagne flavor is mild, but the orange shines through. If you don’t have champagne, try sparkling cider or grape juice.

This is an attractive looking cookie, would not mind having one right now with spot of tea. Have made a version of this cookie over time. I have to say that it’s pretty low rent to tear into someone’s recipe because you didn’t care for it. There aren’t any blue ribbons awarded KTD1. The ingredients didn’t cost an arm and leg. Simply go on with life and don’t make Mimosa cookies again. It’s so simply, maybe you will be kinder on your next review.

Wow, these are sinful. I didn't have real oranges on hand so I replaced the zest with about a tablespoon and a half of lemon curd. I also didn't have champagne, so just did 100% orange juice. They came out amazing. I swear I'm gonna gain ten pounds because I can't stop munching on these.

I used a pink moscato champagne, they came out beautifully only thing I would change is a stronger orange flavor. I used the zest of a whole navel. I’ll maybe try artificial? Maybe not...
