Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Beat for 5–7 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the egg, orange zest, and orange juice, followed by the splash of lemon extract. Gradually mix in the flour until just combined.
- Divide the dough into two disks, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one disk to about ¼-inch thickness, cut out shapes, and transfer to baking sheets.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are light golden brown. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
- Prepare the icing by mixing confectioners' sugar with milk and orange food coloring. Adjust for desired consistency, then glaze the cooled cookies.

Notes
