Orange Juice Cookies

Pillowy soft sugar cookies made with orange juice and orange zest.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg 1
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Mix dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl: flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar and set aside.

  3. Using an electric mixer, mix wet ingredients: butter, vanilla, egg, orange zest, and orange juice.

  4. Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.

  5. Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes. You can skip this step if you're in a pinch, but the cookies won't form balls quite as easily.

  6. Roll dough into balls using your cookie scoop. Dust each ball with powdered sugar and place evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  7. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes.

  8. Let cookies cool and serve.
