Ingredients

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp orange zest
6 tbsp butter
1 large egg
1/3 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1/8 tsp almond extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp kosher salt
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp orange zest
1 1/2 tbsp fresh squeezed orange juice

Steps

Heat the oven to 350 F and grease a baking sheet with cooking oil.
Rub the granulated sugar and orange zest together, then beat them with the butter and egg.
Mix in the orange juice, almond extract, flour, baking powder, and salt until a soft dough forms.
Drop rounded spoonfuls onto the sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set.
Whisk the powdered sugar, remaining orange zest, and orange juice into a smooth icing.
Cool the cookies for 5 minutes, drizzle them with icing, and let the icing firm.
