Cookie Dough
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1 egg
3/4 cup candied peel, orange and lemon
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
Orange Glaze
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons orange juice

1
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
In a bowl, add butter, sugars, vanilla, salt, zest, baking soda, and baking powder. Beat until well combined.
3
Beat in egg until mixed and smooth.
4
Add flour and candied peel and mix until dough comes together.
5
You can either drop batter onto baking sheets by the teaspoon (or tablespoon--depending on what size you like), about 1 1/2 inches apart. Or you can form dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on baking sheets.
6
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
7
For glaze, mix confectioners' sugar and orange juice until sugar is mixed in and you have a thin glaze. With a pastry brush, brush over cookies. It's more of a coating than a glaze and will leave a sheen as opposed to a thick glaze.
