\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83c\udf73 Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Prepare the Dough<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Dry Ingredients:<\/strong> Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar:<\/strong> In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light, fluffy, and pale (about 3\u20134 minutes).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Add Wet Ingredients:<\/strong> Beat in the egg, followed by the vanilla extract and the fresh orange zest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Incorporate Sour Cream:<\/strong> Gently mix in the sour cream until just combined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Combine:<\/strong> Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed only until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Chill:<\/strong> Form the dough into a disc, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour<\/strong> (or up to 2 days). This is necessary for rolling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    2. Shape and Bake<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Preheat & Prep:<\/strong> Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Roll and Cut:<\/strong> Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin. Roll the chilled dough out to a thickness of about 1\/4 inch (6\u00a0mm). Use a medium-sized heart-shaped cookie cutter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Bake:<\/strong> Place the hearts on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8\u201310 minutes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Key for Softness:<\/strong> Remove the cookies from the oven when the edges are set and just<\/em> beginning to look golden, but the centers still look slightly soft.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Cool:<\/strong> Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      3. Glaze (Optional)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Mix Glaze:<\/strong> Whisk the sifted powdered sugar with the orange juice, adding the juice slowly until the glaze is smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Dip or Drizzle:<\/strong> Once the cookies are completely cool, dip the tops into the glaze or drizzle it decoratively over the surface. Let the glaze set before stacking.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        These cookies are known for retaining their soft texture for several days when stored in an airtight container!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Would you like a suggestion for a citrus garnish to sprinkle on the wet glaze for extra beauty?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
