Total time: 30 min
Yield: 12 cookies
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon baking powder; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1/2 cup granulated sugar; 1 large egg; Zest of 1 orange; 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth cookie dough forms.
Roll the cookie dough into small balls, about 1 inch in size.
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll each cookie ball in the powdered sugar until coated evenly.
Arrange the coated cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
