Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Light brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Tangerine juice
- 1 tablespoons Tangerine zest
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, tangerine juice, tangerine zest, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat on low speed until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Pour the powdered sugar into a shallow dish. Roll each ball of dough lightly in the powdered sugar to coat the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers appear slightly underbaked. Do not overbake for chewy cookies.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your chewy tangerine cookies with a cup of tea or a glass of milk!
