Ingredients

  • 4 ounces unsalted butter softened
  • 1/4 cup grams sugar
  • The zest of one orange tangelo, lemon, or tangerine
  • 1 1/2 cup rising flour
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix all of the ingredients in a small bowl until a cohesive dough forms.
  • Scoop 1" balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet; a teaspoon cookie scoop works well here. Arrange the balls of dough about 1 1/2" to 2" apart.
  • Use a fork to flatten each cookie to about 1/4" thick, making a crosshatch design.
  • Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, until they start to turn light golden brown on top.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and cool them on the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer them to a rack to cool completely before serving.
