Time 28m

Yield 42

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 sheets Reynolds® Parchment Paper
½ cup butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons finely shredded orange peel
1 tablespoon finely shredded lemon peel
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon orange juice, or as needed
¾ cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with Reynolds® Parchment Paper; set aside.
  • Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer about 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add the egg, orange peel, lemon peel, and vanilla and beat until well blended.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add half of flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until just combined. Add the milk. Beat about 10 seconds. Beat in the remaining flour mixture until just combined.
  • Drop tablespoon-size mounds of dough on prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set and the bottoms are browned. Transfer the cookies on the parchment paper to a wire rack; cool completely.
  • Drizzle with Citrus Glaze to serve.
  • Citrus Glaze: In a small bowl combine melted butter and orange juice. Add powdered sugar; beat until smooth. If necessary, add more orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, to make drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cookies.

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These cookies are a bit dry. I think they would be better with a little more butter.

I had trouble getting the cookies to spread out evenly. They ended up being more like thick bars.

These cookies were a hit at my holiday party! They're so flavorful and festive, and they disappeared quickly.
