Recipe

< Picture 1 of 1 >
This cookie was entered in the 2013 Family Reunion Cookie Contest.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • .25 tsp salt
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp orange zest
  • 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
  • 1 egg

Glaze:

  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • Fresh orange juice

Steps

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a small bowl, mix sugar and zest. Rub together with your fingers until zest is throughout the sugar. The sugar will become moist from the oils being released. Using a mixer, cream the butter and orange zest sugar. Add egg and orange juice. Slowly add dry ingredients until well incorporated. Chill dough for an hour or overnight.
  2. Scoop onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and roll into smooth round balls. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes or until very lightly golden on the bottoms. Don't over bake or they will be a bit dry and lose the perfect texture.
  3. Mix the powdered sugar, orange zest and enough orange juice to get a glaze consistency and beat until smooth and creamy. Pour glaze over the tops of the cookies and let set.
