Yield: 24 cookies
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour; 1 tsp baking soda; 1/2 tsp baking powder; 1/2 tsp salt; 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature; 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar; 1 egg; 2 tsp orange zest; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating); 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (for coating); 1/2 tsp orange zest (for coating)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, orange zest, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and orange zest for the coating.
Shape the cookie dough into 1-inch balls and roll each ball in the sugar-cinnamon-orange mixture until evenly coated.
Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using the bottom of a glass, gently flatten each cookie to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Bake 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 a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these delightful Orange Snickerdoodle Cookies with a refreshing glass of orange-infused tea or your favorite hot beverage.
