Orange Sugar Cookies
Sugar cookies are great on their own, but make really incredible ice cream sandwiches too!
- Yield: 4 dozen 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups gluten free all purpose flour, I used King Arthur Flour Multi-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- sparkling sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place the flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and combine with a whisk.
- Put the sugars and the zest in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium for about 30-45 seconds until thoroughly combined. Add the butter then mix until pale and fluffy; about 1 minute. Add the eggs one at a time, and then the orange juice. Reduce the speed to low then gradually add the flour mixture.
- Use a small cookie scoop to drop the dough onto parchment lined baking sheets, about 1-1/2 tablespoons of dough per cookie, leaving about 3-inches between each cookie. (They spread a lot!) Flatten cookies slightly then sprinkle each one with sparkling sugar.
- Bake the cookies for 15 minutes, until golden, rotating the pans half way through. Transfer the cookies to wire racks using a spatula and let cool completely.
