Orange Sugar
Cookies
Heat oven to 350F.
Combine all orange sugar ingredients in a small bowl; stir until well mixed. I usually rub it with my fingers to release the oil in the zest. You can leave the zest in but I usually sift it out.
Combine 1 cup sugar, butter and egg in a large bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy.
Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking powder and baking soda.
Beat until well mixed.
Add all remaining ingredients.
Continue beating just until mixed.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll balls in orange sugar.
Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Flatten with bottom of glass to 1 ½-inch circles.
Bake for 7 to 11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.(DO NOT OVER-BAKE).
Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.
