Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 whole Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the orange zest, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until fully combined.

Step 5

Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.

Step 7

Using a round or decorative cookie cutter, cut out shapes from the dough and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each cookie.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and water to create a light glaze.

Step 9

Brush the glaze lightly over the tops of the cookies to help them crisp up and enhance the sweetness.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on a wire rack completely.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy your Orange Cinnamon Crisps with tea, coffee, or as a delightful standalone snack!
