Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Egg, large
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Orange slice candies, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Shredded sweetened coconut (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, orange juice, and orange zest to the bowl. Beat until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
Fold in the finely chopped orange slice candies and shredded coconut (if using). Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly puffy. Do not overbake to keep the cookies soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Easy Delicious Orange Slice Cookies with a refreshing cup of tea or coffee!
