Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, white sugar and orange zest. Combine with your fingers until you have worked the zest into the sugars.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the infused sugars with the butter, egg, orange juice and vanilla extract. Mix on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
