Preheat oven to 165°C.
In a bowl cream together butter and sugar until light and pale.
Add the orange peel and beat well.
Now add the flour and nuts and mix well to form a crumbly dough. This is so much like the short crust pastry we make for pies.
Now pat the whole batch of dough into a large cookie on a greased tray.
Remove a small circle of dough from the centre using a bottle cap of cookie cutter.
With a blunt side of knife or a spatula, mark lined along the circle. This will make it easy to slice the wedges.
Bake until golden for 20-25 minutes.
Cool before removing from the tray.
Slice into wedges and serve with a cup of coffee.
