Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Light brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 3 tablespoons Tangerine juice
• 1 tablespoons Tangerine zest
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the egg, tangerine juice, tangerine zest, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat on low speed until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Pour the powdered sugar into a shallow dish. Roll each ball of dough lightly in the powdered sugar to coat the surface.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers appear slightly underbaked. Do not overbake for chewy cookies.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your chewy tangerine cookies with a cup of tea or a glass of milk!
