Description

Ingredients

• 3 cups gluten free all purpose flour, I used King Arthur Flour Multi-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1¾ cups granulated sugar
• ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1½ tablespoons fresh orange juice
• sparkling sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

• 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.
