1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon orange zest, plus 1 Tbsp. fresh juice (from 1 orange)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1
Prepare the Cookies: Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Beat butter at medium speed with a heavy-duty stand mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Beat in orange zest, juice, and vanilla until fully incorporated.
2
Stir together flour and salt in a small bowl; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed until blended after each addition. Place dough on a lightly floured surface, and roll to 1/4-inch-thick. Cut with a 2-inch round cutter. Place 2 inches apart on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper (about 14 per baking sheet). Reroll scraps once.
3
Bake, in batches, in preheated oven until lightly browned on bottom and around edges, 11 to 13 minutes. (Refrigerate second batch while baking first batch.) Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and cool completely (about 30 minutes).
