Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Beat in the egg, orange zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls 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. The centers may still look soft; they'll firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once fully cooled, dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
Serve and enjoy these delightful Orange Cinnamon Cookies!
