These cookies combine the bright flavor of orange with the warmth of cinnamon for a delightful treat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice until well combined.
Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.
Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender.
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even coating.
Shape the dough into walnut-sized balls, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture, and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Space the cookies evenly to allow for spreading during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on the sheet helps the cookies set properly.
Serve the cookies on a platter and enjoy with your favorite beverage.
These cookies pair wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee.
