How to Make Orange Iced Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the zest and juice of 2 large oranges, 2 large eggs, and ½ cup buttermilk.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, alternating with 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons of orange juice.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 6-8 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.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, frost them with your favorite orange icing (recipe below).
