To Make the Cookies:

1. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, and 3 Tbsp. orange zest. Cream that for about 3 minutes.

2. Add in 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour with 1/4 tsp. salt and beat that till combined. At first it will be crumbly, but keep beating and it will come together.

3. With a 1-inch cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto a lined baking sheet with parchment paper. You should have about 16 cookies.

4. Next roll each cookie into a smooth ball.

5. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until lightly golden.

6. Once done baking, transfer to a cooling rack and let them cool completely.

To Make The Glaze:

1. In a bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of glaze along with 4 Tbsp. juice from a blood orange. You may need to add more powdered sugar or juice to get the right consistency.

2. Dunk the cooled cookies in the glaze, and transfer them to a cooling rack to let the glaze set.

3. Enjoy!
