Orange Cookies II

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cream together the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in the lightly beaten egg until fully incorporated.

Add the orange juice and grated orange rind to the mixture, stirring until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.

Gradually fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.

Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 12 minutes until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.

Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
