Ingredients for the Cookies

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Ingredients for the Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until it’s light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the egg, orange zest, and vanilla extract, mixing well until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  7. While the cookies are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and zest in another bowl until smooth.
  8. Once the cookies have cooled down, drizzle the glaze over the top of each cookie.
