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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Beat in the egg, orange zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once fully cooled, dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy these delightful Orange Cinnamon Cookies!
