Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Fresh orange zest
- 60 milliliters Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons Fresh orange zest (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, fresh orange zest, fresh orange juice, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until fully combined and a soft dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of fresh orange juice in a small bowl until smooth and thick but pourable.
Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top of each cookie. Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of fresh orange zest for garnish.
Allow the glaze to set for about 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
