Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp orange zest (about 1 orange)
  • 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (for extra softness)

For the Orange Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp orange zest (for extra flavor)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Cookie Dough

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  3. Mix in egg, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream, until just combined.

Step 2: Bake the Cookies

  1. Scoop 1 ½ tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  3. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Step 3: Make the Orange Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. In a bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  2. Add powdered sugar, orange juice, vanilla extract, and orange zest, beating until fluffy.

Step 4: Frost & Serve

  1. Spread or pipe the frosting onto cooled cookies.
  2. Garnish with extra orange zest for a vibrant finish.
  3. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Extra Orange Flavor: Add ½ tsp orange extract to the dough or frosting.
  • Make it Lighter: Swap Greek yogurt for sour cream.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing Option: Freeze unfrosted cookies for up to 2 months, then frost after thawing.
