How to Make Orange Cinnamon Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the zest of 1 large orange until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice.
In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup granulated sugar and 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between them. Gently flatten each cookie slightly using a glass dipped in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
