11 Orange Christmas Cookies Citrus Flavored

Classic Orange Sugar Cookies

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that the cookies bake evenly.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later use.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Add the eggs, orange zest, and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the cookies.
6. Chill the Dough (Optional): If time allows, cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
7. Shape Cookies: Once chilled, scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. If desired, you can also flatten them slightly for a more traditional cookie shape.
8. Bake the Cookies: Place the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just golden but the center is still soft.
9. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an extra festive touch, if desired.
