- Beat in the egg, fresh orange juice, and grated orange zest until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
