Ingredients
- 1¼ cups + 1 tablespoon all purpose flour (165g total, if you double the recipe then double this amount)

- 1 pinch salt
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 3¼ tablespoons butter softened
- ½-1 tablespoon orange or lemon zest
EXTRAS
- 2-3 tablespoons Granulated sugar for sprinkling

Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F/180C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl combine with a fork, pastry blender or clean hands the flour and butter until coarse crumbs appear, add the egg and sugar and start to with a fork, then add the zest, vanilla, baking powder and salt. Mix until almost combined, then move to a flat surface and gently knead to form a soft compact dough.
- Pat the dough into a ½-¾ inch thick rectangle, cut into strips, I made 13 strips, place the strips on the prepared baking sheet approximately 1 inch apart, sprinkle with granulated sugar and bake 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Let sit 5-7 minutes on the baking sheet then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving. Enjoy!

Notes
- Store: Cool completely then store at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-5 days.
- Freeze: Cool then place cookies in a freeze safe container or zip top bag and store for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature and enjoy. Place a piece of parchment paper between cookies to prevent sticking.
