    1 egg, beaten
    2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Preparation
    In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, orange extract and orange rind until fluffy.
    Stir in the flour to make a make a soft dough.
    Turn out onto a floured surface; roll into a 1 1/2-inch diameter roll. (stated as printed in recipe). Note: I think it should mean a 10 x 8-inch rectangle and when rolled it will equal about 1 1/2-inch diameter roll.
    Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm -- about 2 hours.
    Cut log into 1/4-inch slices and place on parchment lined or greased rimless baking sheets.
    Brush with beaten egg; sprinkle with sugar.
    If using a convection oven, preheat to 275 degrees. Bake on top, middle and bottom racks. Bake about 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
    If using a conventional oven, preheat to 300 degrees.
    Bake on top and bottom thirds of oven; switching and rotating pans halfway through. Bake 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned.
