Ingredients
  

Cookies

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup butter 1 stick (softened to room temperature)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste substitute vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole milk yogurt

Vanilla & Orange Glazes

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1½ tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons milk I used whole milk
  • salt pinch
  • 1 tablespoon freeze dried tangerines ground to a fine powder with a coffee grinder

Instructions
 

Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
  • In a bowl, combine together the flour, baking powder and salt then set aside.
  • In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together butter, sugar and orange zest until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla. Add the yogurt and mix until combined.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet about 2 to 3 inches apart. Bake for 14-18 minutes. Cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Vanilla & Orange Glaze

  • Combine all of the powdered sugar, light corn syrup, vanilla extract, salt into a small bowl. Add about 2 tablespoons of the milk to start and slowly start whisking together. Add an additional tablespoon of milk at a time until the consistency is thick but spreadable.
  • Pour half of the glaze into a another small bowl, add the freeze dried tangerine powder to the glaze and whisk slowly. Add an additional teaspoon of milk at a time if the orange glaze is too thick.
  • To glaze the cookies: flip the cookies over and glaze half of the cookies with the vanilla glaze and the other half with the orange glaze. Return the glazed cookies to the cooling rack and let set for about 30 minutes to an hour.
